Remembering...

Yes, it's ridiculous to say you remember something like it was yesterday, yet everyone has one of those moments where it's like time suddenly stood still and memories flood back, like they were tucked away in a perfect little time capsule.  It happened for me tonight and yesterday.  I've been to the pumpkin patch with my kids, more times than I can count.  Yesterday I went with Lorelei on her last class field trip to the pumpkin patch. Mommy time with Lorelei. My sweet girl! I've been with Bailey 3 times, Savannah once, Jonas twice and this was Lorelei's 3rd trip.  One of the very first times I ever took the kids to the pumpkin patch was to that exact one.  Savannah was 5 months and Bailey was about to turn 3.  I could literally still picture them there amongst all the pumpkins...they looked something like this... Savannah's first Halloween, 5 months old The beginning of Bailey hating to have his picture taken!!! At Love Creek Orchard's

This is my life...

 (this blog post was started on my Notepad on my iPhone on Sept.22, 2014)   at least right now.  I really can't complain, I love every crazy moment...Monday morning duty, teach all day, pick up Bailey from an extra viola rehearsal, battle traffic home, squeeze in Lorelei's homework, leave for gymnastics.  It's 7:41 and we haven't even eaten dinner.  Some Monday's I'm lucky and get dinner on the table before gymnastics, not this week.  John promised Dominos would be waiting...he's a good man.   Funny enough, I haven't made much time for writing these days.  All this day to day, leaves little time for my own needs, much less my wants.  I'm OK with that. It's what I signed up for with this thing called Motherhood. I know this time will go quickly and even though most days fly by in a blur, I do try to savor the moments.  It's exactly why I do blog and take as many photographs as my kids will allow.  It gives me a chance to reflect on
