Looking Back

I know I should be posting a picture from this year...a picture with my huge 5 year old and massive 10 year old with braces...but during Christmas break while we kept pj's on all day watching movies and playing with Christmas toys, we looked through pictures from all our past Christmas's...remembering special gifts, teasing me about wearing the same pj pants each year, and ooohhing and aaaahhing over our pretty Christmas trees. I love this picture...Henry was 5...which seems strange to me because it's the age Harrison is now. Henry seemed so old at the time, but looking back I see he was this small, sweet, tender little angel. Harrison is 9 months old...crawling around and loving everything his brother did...and playing with his brothers coveted timer~he's holding it in the picture...while turning around constantly to see the tree and his brother instead of posing for the camera.
Fleeting. Time with these little men is flying right by me...and I'm slowing down to see it...seeing them grow from little children into people...with their thoughts and feelings and interests...coming home from school talking non stop about their days, laughing together while they do homework, giggling while they brush their teeth~sometimes FC & I stand at the bottom of the stairs listening to them play and laugh...soaking them in so we can remember later.
