how come you are getting so big

I looked at Lyza the other day and thought...when did this happen? When did she get to be so grown up? I know this is a problem that all mothers face. We all blink and our kids are all grown up on us. I wish I could just stop the clock and take everything in slow motion.

I have been thinking a lot the past couple of days about life and what is really important. I truly feel that life is so precious and that things can happen in a blink of an eye that change your life forever.
I want to take a step back and really take in my life. I want to make sure that I say "i love you" to my husband everyday. I want to make sure my children know that they are the most precious things in life to me. I want to notice the little miracles that happen to me daily.

So as I looked at these cute little random pic's of Lyza, this was my moment today to pause. To be grateful for this little "toe head" girl that brightens our life. To be grateful for my husband who kisses me 5 times every morning before he leaves for work. And just to be grateful for all the little mundane "miracles" that happened to me today.

What happened to my little Lyza? She is getting so grown up now, but is still just as adorable as ever. I feel like we haven't seen you guys for ever, so we need to plan something, and don't worry, I'll bring the fries.
