Nailed each one of the kids. Did anyone really have a doubt? I know everyone says it but all these kids were so tiny YESTERDAY. Today they are (almost) 20, 11, 8, and 6. They bother the living heck out of you one second and the next you laughing right along with them. The years with them have simply flown past. Yesterday, I was letting go of Kaelyn's first non-training-wheel bike and off she went around the park. Yesterday, patting little Rory's tush while she slept on my chest (goes for Logan and Marley too), Yesterday, I was watching "Who's Line" rocking Logan to sleep. Yesterday, I was strapping Marley into her car seat taking her home from the home hospital. It's so fleeting time is.
