Peter Pan Syndrome
Do any of you ever get really sad when you think about your little ones growing up? I 'm sure I'm not the only one having issues with this. I just love my little girls so much; I love when they cuddle with me and Durke in the mornings, I love when they climb up on my lap, or fall asleep in my arms. I don't ever want them to get big, and not want to hug me anymore, or even worse get so big that they move away. That sounds like the most horrible thing ever. I know that all stages of life are probably fun and we can learn a lot, but I am selfish and I never want Gracie and Abi to get bigger than they are right now.

Jessi,
Hey, your blog is so cute! I have always felt all those feelings that you are talking about with your kids growing up. I was holding Will last night while he fell asleep in my arms, just thinking a lot of those same things that you were thinking. I think it is good just to take advantage of holding them and cuddling with them while they will let you. So you are definitely not alone with those feelings! It's kind of scary! Anyways, your girls are so adorable and I love all your posts!
I agree completely! I hate that Cayson is already 7 months old. I feel like he was just a new born yesterday. It is hard to see the time fly so fast. Sometimes I find myself thinking I can't wait until Jesse is finished med school, but really I can't think that because time is too precious to wish it away. Your girls are so sweet, I am excited to see them again when we do a rotation in September.
I think those same thoughts all of the time. Mara is at a cute stage right now and I don't want her to change. You are not alone in your thoughts!! Your girls are so cute! I can't wait to get back so our kids can be play buddies.
Yes!! You said it all perfectly! And those moments when yo hold them you just dont want it to end!! I guess that why you always have more!
Both girls cuddled me in bed this morning. Those precious moments I will treasure forever. I try to breath deep and just soak it all in. I love seeing your blog.
I was thinking the same thing yesterday that someday Sammie and Laci are going to grow up and leave. I really do not think it's wise to think about though!
You are the greatest!! I think that all the time. But I also thought, how could I love another baby as much as I love Emma. And now that Tal's here my heart is 10 times as big. I guess as life happens, we find greater joy in each step!! Love ya, Angeline
HI Jessi...
this is Julia (your husbands cousin... aunt dixie's daugher lol) anyway... I just started a blog today, and through some of my other friends blogs, I stumbled onto yours! It is so cute! and how funny is this... our layout pages are the same!! too funny! I guess great minds think alike :) well I read this post and I agree. Time goes so fast, and kids grow up even faster! my little boy is 6 already and it seems like just last year I was helping him learn to walk. It is sad to think they will only be this way once, and if we blink we miss it. hope you guys are doing well. hope its okay I stopped by your blog!
<3 Julia
My baby is now walking (well, more like running now) and it makes me so sad (and happy to see him so excited about it) at the same time. I don't want any of my kids to get older either! I love your blog page. Jas says to have Durke call him anytime he wants to go for a ride!! He is always welcome.
Jessi--
Hey it's Heather from your Bonko group. I loved your blog. I didn't realize Durke was your husband. When we first got in the ward...him and the elder's quorum pres came over and we felt so welcomed! And i work with his sister Nikki at the elementary school SMALL WORLD! or small town. haha. Well...you are so cute and i loved your cute pictures of your girls. they are so beautiful!
