frozen in time

i did aerobics in the basement. sawyer played by me. the older 3 played the wii.
we all went outside. i tried to shovel...the sheet of ice. the kids slid down the yard on anything they could find.
we ran to the bank and library (the books were due today...i would have rather not left the house!) and grocery store.
got lunchables for them for lunch. they were on sale. the smiles were worth it.
a little laundry, made a birthday gift together, played the wii - ALL of us (they love it when i play).
everyone read for a little bit (while i caught up on some email and blogs...not much...but did what i could...)
now we are watching old home movies. 
christmas 2006 - rebekah was 5, joshua was almost 3, bailey was 1
birthday party for rebekah turning 6 and bailey turning 2
beach with friends...trying to convince bailey that the baby in the movie was MASON and not RYAN was hysterical!
my heart hurts...where does the time go??
{and HOW do i look SO much older in just a few years??}
feeling a little frozen in time today...after our weekend away and another "bonus" day together today...it's kind of hard to remember what "real life" feels like at this point!

Tess and I watched home videos together today...from 2 years ago.

And I bawled.

Trying to convince Mason it's Mason might be just as hard ;)
I am glad you are cherishing it all!
