My babies just keep growing.....

Nathan recently graduated fifth grade....where has the time gone....seriously!

He will be moving up to the middle high school this coming year.

Part of me is excited for him and for me.

and part of me just wants my baby, my cuddle bug, my little guy back....

you know as a mom, how difficult these growing days can be.

It's not easy, that's for sure.

These last few months have been super busy and also flying by faster then I can keep up

Not only did Nathan graduate, but so did the twins (I'll be sharing that soon enough).

My sweet mother in law and sister in law traveled from Georgia to help us celebrate

these very special, momentous occasions.

Thank goodness for my sister in law, because I was so excited by watching my baby walk across 

the stage that I forgot to take pictures.

So thankful, she was able to capture it on her phone.

and here,I thought I was hip - but I just don't get the dab thing...

oh well

We celebrated at Pizza Hut...Nathan's choice.

selfies with mom...

I wish I could just bottle up those memories and place them on a shelf and when the desire hits me,

that I could just open a bottle and replay those memories right before my eyes....and I don't mean in

 video form...I mean as if I were and we were still at that stage in life.

in real time - someone needs to invent a machine that can do this...

you know, kind of like a star trek holodeck type thing.
