Okay, so maybe I am

bit weepy this week - seems my entries are a bit sentimental lately! Oh well! That's where I am right now so that's what you get! :)
For those of you with girls - and even boys as the same things is true of them - there is a new song out that really makes me stop and take time to play with my kids. I do try to spend time just having fun with them but sometimes the daily grind of life blinds us parents to the need for carefree time, too. The song is titled Cinderella - by Steve Curtis Chapman - my all time favorite artist :).
Maybe it is becuase my older three have hit the stage of their lives where everything is changing in big ways! The boys are almost as tall as me - I know, not a huge accomplishment in some of your opinions if you think I am not too tall. But in their eyes it is quite a big deal - and definately in mine.
Josh is about to graduate into the jr. high group at church. Michael is reads whole passages in his Bible now instead of the verses he would read to himself as a little boy. He also is contemplating such things as the meaning and importance of fasting and is about to the point of commiting himself to try it. He is 9 - surely not old enough for such weighty things - and yet, what better than to have my son interested in the things of the Lord at such a tender age.
Abby is getting tall and young womanly looking. She is ready to learn how to cook.
They grow up so fast!
So, even though most young mothers have heard the old saying a million times, I will say it again - Enjoy your children and make the most of it NOW because they grow up so fast and will be gone before you know it!
