Where has the time gone?

There are many moments in my day, when I stop and look down at our 6 week old daughter resting in my arms or stare in disbelief as our 2 1/2 carries on complete conversations with me over lunch. I can't help but feel like I am in some sort of time warp. It really feels like just yesterday that Braedon was waking us every few hours to be bounced on the yoga ball in a dimly lit living room in the middle of the night, and here we are doing the exact same things with our baby girl. Braedon is dunking his head under water in swim class, memorizing and reciting his books to his baby doll (her name is Aubrey too), learning to ride his tricycle, and talking with me about his excitement to start preschool next fall. Where has the time gone? I am trying my best to soak up every precious moment with these two children. I feel so lucky to be able to spend my days with them and watch them grow. Sometimes I wish I could just slow things down a bit, but instead I am learning to live in the moment more and relish these days we have together.
