Can someone tell me what happened to the last three years?

The older you get the faster time flies. At least that's how I've been feeling lately. Logan's going to be three on the 30th and it's just crazy to me. It seems like she was just a little baby. Trent made these laminated book marks with the girl's pictures on it and the pictures are from when they were both little. I look at them at night before we go to bed and think - should we have another???? I miss the baby stages at times and although it seems like they're babies forever - it's really not long at all. Heather started walking at 9 months and Logan at 10 months. They both started talking really early too and haven't shut up since. Those who know me know that I LOVE babies - the way they smell, look, feel...ugh, I just want to squeeze them. And none of my friends have bothered to have any so I haven't gotten a baby fix in awhile! =)

Then I have to think - both of mine had colic and I don't really have the convenience of family to watch them anymore. My Mom watched Heather till she passed away and my MIL and Dad watched Logan till she was about 18 months old or so. My MIL works more than I do now and my Dad would only be able to watch a baby once a week. And daycare is out of the question. #1 it's expensive and #2 I've just never felt secure and I would worry all day long that my kid isn't getting the attention it needs. I'm a bit of a control freak for those who don't know ;).

So, what do I do? I think I'll leave it up to "Everything happens for a reason" and see what happens. And maybe in the meantime someone close to me will have a baby so I can get my fix and give it back!! Happy mating my friends!!

Back to Logan - I can't believe she'll be three soon. She's grown up so fast and she's so dang CUTE! I'm trying to absorb all the cute things she does and says because they will soon go away and she'll be telling me to get out of her room! Luckily that hasn't happened with Heather yet but I'm sure it's coming! Speaking of Heather - that girl...such a smarty pants and so gorgeous. I can't believe she's going to be 7! She's so tall, up to my armpits already!! By the time she turns 10 I think she'll be taller than me! She already thinks she's the boss - man we're in for it!!

Don't let time fly by - cherish each moment you have with your kids, your family and your friends. Tell them you love them and hugs are always good! (Right Dave!)

Till the next post...
