memories…

You know all those things that happen daily that are just part of life, but don’t seem like anything special? I got reminded recently that EVERY moment is special in it’s own way and even though they seem ordinary at the time, you will cherish them in a few years when everything has changed.

It all started when I decided to transfer our home videos to the computer to save them in digital format. While I was so happy that I have some video of the kids when they were younger, it also made me sad. Sad that time passes way too quickly and sad that I didn’t video more every day life moments. We always think we have to record the big moments…Christmas plays, graduation, etc. But out of all the recordings, I cherished the normal every day moments the most….the way they talked, their mannerisms, what they liked/didn’t like, how they danced/sang, what they looked like. I get teary eyed just thinking back to all the moments lost to time. So, instead of dwelling on what a I should have done, I came to the conclusion that I can’t turn back time and record more of their childhood, but I CAN start recording more at the ages they are now!

Here are two gems from when my babies were 5 yrs old & 2.5 yrs old…

Hayden talking with mommy

Caitlin & Hayden dancing in the living room to Hilary Duff…a song Caitlin knows by heart now and was one of her favorites when she was in voice lessons!
