The first week of April is just about the craziest and most fun week of the year around here. It starts with my birthday (finally celebrated the golden birthday), has the girls birthday in the middle (they had their golden birthday as well this year)and ended with Easter Sunday. Not to mention all the Egg hunts, spring break activities and a few birthday parties thrown into the mix as well, it’s safe to say that by the end, we were at  celebration capacity. I’m thankful for this week of reflection and blessing. The girls turned five this year. It hit me harder than I thought it would. I see them as kids all the sudden. The little toddler body left far behind, no longer scanning the room to make sure i’m still around. They run to new adventures, can’t wait to make new friends and explore new relationships. They have grand ideas, and  think they know all the answers. My long days with them to myself are numbered and i can’t help but miss them alittle bit already.  Before then we’ll just have to fit in many more memeories like these….
