"Nobody ever told me that motherhood is a constant gnawing hunger, a confusing mix of envisioning future ages and milestones, cars and boys and the way her grown up hand will feel in mine, and simultaneously mourning tiny pink socks that surely only ever fit seashells." S. Murdock
The minute I saw that quote I fell in love! That sentiment is exactly what bounces around in my head almost daily. I envision her future and deeply miss her baby days- all in the same instant.
I have to remind myself to live in this moment.
and
today
she is my silly girl.

Big Kahuna and I have known each other since we were kids and have been married for almost 15 years. We are passionate about our family, travel and serving God. We love helping people and bringing them hope. We laugh ourselves to tears watching classic episodes of Saturday Night Live and The Office. Summer is our favorite season, and we live for warm evenings playing with the kids on the beach.
Big Surf is 14 years old. He's a voracious reader, focused, and spends hours building things. He is our resident techie and is also learning to play the violin. He loves to spend his free time playing baseball, flag football, or out on the trails by the house building his clubhouse.
Goofy Foot is ten years old. He devours his free reading books like there is no tomorrow. He is also the family comedian. If you see him, ask him to tell you a joke! He is tender-hearted, social and compliant. When he is not outside riding his bike, you'll find him drawing or writing a funny book.
Beach Bunny is three years old. She is our sunshine! She joined our family through the unbelievable gift of adoption. Beach Bunny loves to snuggle with us and carefully takes care of her baby dolls. She is super silly and must say hi to everyone! One word that describes her is "joy".

I have never heard that quote before but it IS perfect.
It seems like just yesterday Dmitry was toddling around in diapers and learning to speak...now he is carrying a cell phone and worried about acne. It still amazes me how quickly it went by...and makes me even more determined to live in the moment.
Love the picture, I love her little tongue sticking out...adorable!!
PS...If you have a Macy's near you they were advertising a pettiskirt in the sale add for 15.00!! I am sure it is not the same quality as the Belle Ame or the other big brands but I am swinging by tomorrow to pick up one..they are not on line.
Isn't that quote perfect and so much truth to it. As we celebrate Bella's 4th birthday today, I can't believe 4 years have gone by. It has been a flash of time! Before I know it, she will be 10 and I will be 50! OMG we can't be that old so soon! :) I have an update on my blog! :)

DITTO girl friend! You are really getting good at the photography. The best thing about this picture is that Isabela looks just like her Mommy. Isn't God so fun that way. Warms my heart to know that I must too resemble my heavenly Father. Hugs.

Bella is just absolutely adorable. I love her hair and her smile just lights up the screen. You photos look so professional, but with such attractive subjects you can't possibly go wrong. You have a beautiful family!
