I have many, many precious memories of...Beautiful!<br /><br />I have many, many precious memories of my 6 older kids when they were little ... and all I had to focus on were "the littles". Then, when the littles became big, and I had more littles ... I didn't have as much time to play with the littles. At one point we had 8 teens in our home (6 of our own, plus 2 extra) ... and the 4 littles seemed to get caught in the shuffle. I missed the afternoons playing in the sprinkler, having picnics at the park, etc... I was too busy running the teens here and there and everywhere.<br /><br />Now ... my first 6 littles are grown and gone. I am blessed by the memories of their growing up years. And, now I can focus on the lives of the next 6 littles. We, too, have amazing memories. I have taken 2 cross country road trips with these 6 ... something I never was able to do just with the older 6.<br /><br />I am slowing life down for these 6 ... making sure that we, too, are making time for FUN ... making sure that we are making memories together.<br /><br />Great words, Robin. I, too, encourage moms to slow down and BE with their children. Live in the moment. Don't let these years pass in a blur.<br /><br />All of the extra-curricular activities that we add to our children's lives won't matter ... if we lose who we are as a family.<br /><br />Hope your week is BLESSED!<br /><br />LaurelLaurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17253303288242135440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628621471037646365.post-9858593693083901862011-06-01T11:31:36.910-05:002011-06-01T11:31:36.910-05:00hi, i feel blessed coming across such a lovely blo...hi, i feel blessed coming across such a lovely blog and family and the esp the ever soothing music.<br />thanks for sharing and stay blessed!SARAH MAGEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14276078971651086200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628621471037646365.post-13106103535127990352011-05-31T22:25:15.294-05:002011-05-31T22:25:15.294-05:00Thanks for the encouragement, Robin!
