I'll have it forever...

October 2009 was when I started blogging...

started by accident really...

I wanted to help my sister figure out how to do it.

 

Here I am, 4 years later, with so many memories recorded that I could just sit hear reading our lives with a box of Kleenex. 
If my friend Shelby was here...she'd supply the Kleenex.

 

Here we were,

Rocco was just a babe.

 

 

 

 

 

Now, he's the BIG brother.

Teaching the lil' guys everything he knows. 

He's always smiling, and constantly talking our ears off.
 

 

He's helpful & joyful.

 

So much I didn't know about him back then.

& Bo

 

 

I didn't know he would be the perfect combination of

STRENGTH & SWEETNESS.   

Instead of picking me flowers...

"Mom!!!  Come outside!  I picked you a tree!"

 

 

I didn't know that he'd be fussy about how his hair looked.

I didn't know how he would stick his chest out & stand up extra tall with twinkling eyes when he was proud of himself.

I just didn't know.

 

 

I knew Annie the best when I started blogging.

I know every inch of her heart...cause she's me.

But I didn't know she'd end up touching

people's hearts, reaching many in a magazine

& in just a few short years she'd have her own blog.

 

 

I didn't know what a little lady she'd be.

 

 

Back then...

I had NO IDEA I'd have 5 kids.

 

I'm still in shock.

 

& I didn't know how quickly time would fly.

 

 

Since their childhood is slipping away far faster

than this Mama's heart can handle I knew it was time

 to get some pictures by my favorite photographer, 

Joyful Girl Photography.  

I knew she'd be able to capture their childhood. 

 

And she did :)

 

Thanks Jessie for giving me a little bit of their childhood...forever.
(Now I need that Kleenex again )
