And they keep on growing

A few of my favorite photos of Thomas & Katelyn when they were younger.

The other day I received an email from my mother in law about Thomas and Katelyn. She commented on how grown up the kids look from some photos I previously sent her. She also commented that they are big 8 1/2 year olds now. That's when it hit me! Oh my I am thinking to myself that means they will be 9 in almost 6 months. How could this be, where have the years gone. It just seems like yesterday they were so tiny only weighing a little over 4 pounds that they fit in the palms of my hands and now I can barely pick them up anymore. They used to be so dependent on Robert and I for everything. From changing their diapers, to feeding them, rocking them to sleep and calming them down when they cried. Now it almost seems like they know more than us ( like that show Are You Smarter Than a 5Th Grader). I remember when they were babies I thought I would be changing diapers forever, especially with twins. Now I would go back in a heartbeat......yes in a way I miss those diapers. Well we can 't stop them from growing, so as they grow we just do all we can to guide them and direct them in the way of the Lord. We need to pray for them continuously and make sure we are being the parents God called us to be.

Pro 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.
