Just the Beginning...

I'm pretty excited to begin this new endeavor. I've been convicted lately at how fast time flies and how even faster it goes now with children. I had a great conversation a couple of weeks ago with a fellow mom about treasuring time with our children. Greta Banks is already 3 years old, I mean 3 YEARS OLD. I was present for all those 3 years, at least physically. I hope to use this blog as a way to stop and record those funny moments in life, especially those involving my girls, Greta Banks and Ella Claire.

Greta Banks now says some of the funniest things. While on vacation last week at the beach, she was obsessed with riding the "alligator." For the life of me, I had the hardest time figuring it out. You can imagine how the conversation went:

GB: I want to ride the alligator.

Me: The what?

GB: THE ALLIGATOR, you know so I can push the buttons.

Finally after much hysterically laughter on my part that I then realized she meant elevator! Who would have known! We were playing Go Fish the other night, or at least attempting to, when she was recognizing the Disney Characters on each card. My favorite was "Chicken Bale." Can you guess the 3 year translation...Chip and Dale?

Moments like these are ones that I truly hope to treasure. Taking time to savor the moment, live in the here and now, and not dwell too much in the "what happens next" scenario. I guess that's something we all learn and relearn about life, huh!
