Stolen Moments at the Store

by beth on October 11, 2010

Some­times when we are all at home one of us, either Mike or I, will go for an errand.

We usu­ally take one of the kids.

Both of us have admit­ted we take longer than we need run­ning our errand.

We walk a lit­tle slower.

We take in the pass­ing moments.

Get­ting lost in know­ing them, in our chat­ter, in their laughter.

They are no longer babies, whose small feet fit into the palms of our hands.

They are grow­ing up so fast.

We are in awe of the amaz­ing peo­ple they are becoming.

I love those quiet and unrushed moments.

I LOVE this. And isn’t it the truth. They are so amazing! It’s those moments, everyday moments when I always smile to myself and think life is good. Enjoy every second!!

I never expected to like my child so much. I knew I would love her, but I didn’t know I would like her so dang much.
