growing up

I have commented to a few people lately that although my days and weeks sometimes seem long, the months and years always fly by. I'm not sure exactly how that works, but it often feels that way. Sometimes I find myself just wishing for time to go by so that we can hurry out of these intense and often challenging days of parenting. But then I look at these pictures and wonder...where did that time go? I need to constantly remind myself to live in these moments, no matter how hard they are.
