As I sit here watching the summer snow float across the yard landing on anything and everything, I wonder even as I had longed for it through the cold winter, how fast summer came. One by one my girls have finished school. Emily is now to be a 10th grader, Abby in kindergarten. In a couple of days Ashley will be done and leaving 3rd grade behind her. A tired phrase, but still true, how fast they grow up.
It is so great to see a smile on their faces, the sparkle in their eyes. When they laugh I think of innocence. I wonder if I ever felt that way, laughed that way. So free. I try to record it in my memory for when they are grown up. As much stress and frustration as I feel as we experience the growing pains, it is these precious moments when they aren't fighting and they are just being kids who enjoy life.
