{Lasterday}

~"Lasterday" is one of my most favorite words that Kade says all the time. It is a combination of "last year" & "yesterday". It actually is a great use of words.. because wouldn't you agree that sometimes life goes by so fast that you cannot believe that it was really "last year"... or when life seems to stand still and go by really slow.. and yet it was just "yesterday"? This pretty much sums up the six wonderful years that I have had the incredible opportunity to be a mother. I feel it has been the most spectacular blessing in my life. I have had so much time to just enjoy my boys this past week.. and it makes my heart go pitter-patter just thinking about how much joy these two amazing, little boys bring into my life. Before bed each night they hug eachother and say..."thank you for being my best friend".. and this is exactly what they are.























I love to watch them playing, exploring, laughing & enjoying eachother's company. I could not have dreamed this up any better. They get so excited when they are reunited.. their eyes light up and they get the biggest smiles on their faces. They are so different, and yet so much the same. I spend many, many hours wondering what they will be like in 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 years... will they still choose eachother first? Will they still stick up for one another? Will they still say "thanks for being my best friend" before bed each night? All I know is that they said it "Lasterday"... and that is all that matters... I wish that life would just stand still... they are growing up way too quickly.
