This is the time of year when I can't believe that time is going so fast and I beg it to slow down. Registration and the first day of school is a reality check for me. The advancement of my girls flying though these grades are a slap in the face.

Really... third grade for Sophie and tenth grade for Sadie?  

For Sophie, this means the last year in primary, which means next year is elementary school. What a milestone!!  I so want her to stay little, innocent, and sweet. 

For Sadie, this means three more years and she will be leaving me. That is so scary to me!!! I so want her to be by my side forever!! I have to start preparing myself for this. I have to!!

For Molly, this means absolutely nothing. She could care less what grade anybody is in or where they are going. But I know that her school years will go by fast too. Then I will be whining about all three of them not coming to see me in the nursing home. 

It doesn't matter how fast time is going. No matter how hard I try I can't stop it, or even slow it down. But I know I am the luckiest, most blessed woman to be the mother of these three beautiful girls.  

Somebody please show me this precious picture the next time I get made at these sweet faces. Oh how I love them so!!!!
