Making Memories

Sorry for the lack of a blog update last week. It was kind of a busy week. Casey was sick a few days and then his mom was visiting a couple days, and then an old friend from California was in town one day.

Now, on to what I'd intended to blog about. Do you ever think about something that's a ways off in the future and think, "That will be just a memory soon."?

I remember thinking like this before I went on a trip to Ecuador in 2006. Then after the trip was over thinking, "Yep, now it's just a memory."

Time never stands still. Things in the past we once feared or were excited about are now just memories . . .

One day, I was looking at an ultrasound monitor, finding out I was having a boy. I was imagining what he'd be like, who he'd look like, how I'd feel when I first held him. Now, he's almost ten months old. Making funny faces, trying to walk, exploring his world.

Having a little one makes me wish I could hold on to certain moments longer. Make him be my baby longer. But, as other parents before me know, they just keep growing up. So, all I can do is just savor the time.
