There is a country song by Billy Dean that says "Faster than a flower blooms, they grow up way too soon...Let them be little....cause they're only that way for a while".... Last weekend I went to visit my family in Tooele and was reminded again how true that is. My baby sister, Carisa went to her first dance on Saturday. In the picture on the right, taken about 16 years ago, she is the baby on my lap. Now she is a beautiful, amazing 16 year old....driving, going to dances, and dating!!! My other two sisters are all grown up now too. Sara is pursuing her dreams of becoming a photographer and is a beautiful, talented, amazing woman. Alisha will graduate this year and bought her first car last month. I look around at my own children and hope that time will slow down a little so I can enjoy every moment with them. So, I guess I will do my best to remember to...."Let them be little....'cause they're only that way for a while...give them hope, give them praise, give them love everyday...let them cry, let them giggle, let them sleep in the middle, oh, but let them be little. So innocent, precious souls....then you turn around and it is time to let them go....so let them be little, cause they're only that way for a while."

I love that song too! I also relly LOVE your hair in that pic with Carisa on your lap. :)
