reconnect

Let's just have a moment of silence for how cute this picture is.
Oh, I miss those days.
I miss my babies.

Chloe's ringlets have softened into long wavy locks. She will be 8 this spring! How is that even possible?

Liv's now learning songs & letters...and her adorable jibberish baby language is but a distant memory.
...but not too distant...I can still kinda hear it. It was was my fave. 

I am working on being more present with them.
...striving to appreciate the NOW & not being so concerned & preoccupied about what once was, or {especially} what might happen tomorrow.

It's devastatingly hard for me sometimes - to not worry,
but I'm grateful for the challenge.
I get off track, I have bad days among the good ones...
but this picture reminded me that time passes, time heals, time brings growth,
growth brings beauty.

Today is a gift.  ♥
