This is an old picture of our family---we are always changing.
I know that we raise our children to be independent and be on their own someday, but I am not sure I am ready for that stage in life. These are good days with my children and I get sad whenever I think about James going away to college in the fall. Kae Lee is learning how to drive and if that isn't a sign of growing up, I don't know what is. Brynna is developing into a beautiful young women who is very sensitive to all the "yuck" she hears and sees at school. It bothers her and she wishes that there was something she could do about it. Oh the joys of Junior High life.
I love my children so much. I just wonder if I am teaching them everything they need to know to "go out into the world". I can't possibly have a son turning
eighteen next month or a daughter turning thirteen this month or a daughter turning sixteen in May. What happened to those little babies I used to have? At times I want them to stay the ages they are and keep their sweet innocence. But, I know that is not possible so I must enjoy these precious times now. I feel so blessed to feel such a closeness with my children right now. I just hope that never leaves when they leave this place they call "home".
