Maybe it’s in pulling out the winter blankets for the girls’ beds.<\/p>\n

Maybe it’s in realizing how much Rachael has learned in last year’s homeschooling as I flip through this year’s homeschooling outline. <\/p>\n

Maybe it’s in the realization that Abi no longer fits pants I got out last month.<\/p>\n

Maybe it’s in hearing her add “certainly” and “presumably” to her 3 year old vocabulary.<\/p>\n

Maybe it’s in watching Hannah’s eyes now open daily and soaking in her world.<\/p>\n

Maybe it’s in overhearing Abi use words, “it’s ridiculous!” instead of screaming every time she’s frustrated (evidence of growing self-control).<\/p>\n

Maybe it’s in the realization that Rachael will be 4 years old in just a few months.<\/p>\n

Maybe it’s in noticing Abi’s face elongating and planning for potty training in just a few weeks.<\/p>\n

Maybe it’s in the realization that Hannah’s 5 weeks old already.<\/p>\n

Maybe it’s in contemplating bunking the beds after Rachael’s birthday.<\/p>\n

Maybe it’s in looking into the “new kid room” and wondering who will be joining us
… and when
… and feeling like it is so soon
… and that I need to redress the beds in there sooner than later.<\/p>\n

Maybe it’s a combination of all these things, but today they all just feel so big… so old… so “growing like weeds”.<\/p>\n

Rubbing my hand through Hannah’s soft red-tinted hair takes me back to Rachael’s newness
\u00a0… like it was just yesterday.<\/p>\n

And then I see her, Ms. Long-legs, dancing down the hallway with Abi squealing and chasing her. Free and so alive.<\/p>\n

– In the blink of an eye… <\/p>\n

– Snuggling a little extra today. <\/p>\n
