Slow Down!!!!!!!

Madelyn, our oldest at 8 years, has new glasses. She also had two fillings at the dentist this week and an orthodontist app. where we found out she will have braces with/in 6 months. WOW---I told her to quit growing, to slow down and she said "I can't mom" :) I said " you are costing us so much money" jokingly of course----LOl!!!!! It so sad yet so wonderful to see your kids grow. Every day a new thing is learned, and every night a new prayer is said to our awesome God. It is so special to hear those cute, innocent little prayers and I as a mommy have to keep reminding myself to give them to GOD, every day, b/che has only given them to me temporarily, to raise up as daughters and a son of Christ. So I maybe need to say "slow down Sue" appreciate these times with your kids, cherish them now b/c these moments only last a short time!! Count your blessings today, (even if they cost you a crap load of $$$) I am!!!!!!
