Every year during the holidays, I do a lot of photo editing and uploading.. which usually means I’ll go through the older albums. I usually end up sitting at my computer reminiscing over the previous years. This time, Halloween really got me. I have looked back over the photos of my girls, from their first Halloween as cute little witches to this this year as Barbie cheerleaders, and I just don’t know where the time went.

When we first found out we were expecting, we were elated. Daddy had begged for so long for children. I didn’t want to start having kids until we were back home, and he was out of the USMC. Greedy, I know… I just couldn’t chance having children and then him getting deployed somewhere. Yes, families do that all the time. I know. I give them major props… I just was too scared to do it myself. Anyway.. I digress.. Then when the girls were born, life as we knew it had changed. We were now in charge of taking care of two little lives, teaching them, molding them… you know.. everything parents do for their children… and we were excited, scared, and anything in between.

I still just can’t believe how much they have grown. It’s only been 4 years, and they look/act like little adults. they’re so smart and funny, and mature… at least we like to think so .. and you can just see it in their photos…  I still can’t believe how fast they’ve grown…
