As I was picking all these photos out of my old files, they started to make me tear up.  These were all taken in the year 2005/2006 when we first moved into our home.  It's only been 6 years since these were taken and the girls have grown so much over these years.  I really miss when they were y0unger.  They were so cute, weren't they? :)  They are still cute but they are turning into beautiful young ladies.  We no longer have bottles to give or diapers to change but we are now having to deal with the teen mood swings, attitudes, drama and boyfriends.  

Time is very precious with them as it is going so fast and making us older.  I just wish that they would sometimes spend more time out of their rooms than in them.  I am so looking forward to school being out and their school laptops are taken from them that they will come back to reality that there are other people living in the house with them and that there is a whole world out there to discover. :)

Family time is what I love the most and want to spend as much of that with them because someday they will be moving out.  Meagan is finishing her 2nd year of college next week and she will be home for the summer but this will probably be her last summer here.  She is getting an apartment off campus next year and she is planning to stay there over the summer next year and work there as well.   So it will end up being the occasional short visits from her.  It is so hard to let go.  It's been a rough couple of years but I've been slowly dealing with it.  Some days it's easy to say goodbye to her when she's heading back from a visit, but then on another time it really gets to me.  We are really going to enjoy having her home and yes it will be really hard when August comes and she leaves.
