Anyways, I was looking at our 2010 Holiday pictures, Heather Telford took our pictures at the Griffith Observatory (one of our favorites places) and then some at our house. I love how they all turned out! She was amazing, so patient and fun, I specially love this picture of my 3 boys:
As I looked at this picture, I thought: please stay small!Their skin is so soft, they still want to snuggle with me, they think I'm cool (please don't tell them the truth), they say the sweetest prayers and they dance with me until they are tired. I know a lot of these things won't last much longer and it makes my heart hurt a little, OK let me be honest, it actually hurts a lot, it feels like someone is sitting on my chest and my heart is about to stop. Is that crazy or do you know what I mean?
I use to always ask Joey to please stop growing, he would smile and say OK mom, then one day he said:
Joey: I'm sorry Mom
Me: sorry for what Joey?
Joey: I'm really trying to stay small but is not working
If I hadn't been laughing so hard I would have probably cried at how cute that was.
So tonight after looking at the above picture I started looking at older pictures and found these and Oh my goodness! I spent about 2 hours looking at pictures from 2006. Where is time going?! Don't get me wrong, I enjoy each stage of their lives, but seriously look at them, PLEASE STAY SMALL!!
I don't remember why they were crying, but for the record I was not torturing them... I think
Tonight Baby William is not sleeping on his crib, he's staying right here next to me, he's not going to be 9 months much longer.

I know EXACTLY what you mean. I came down the stairs a few weeks ago to take my older three out on some Christmas errands, and they all happened to be standing there at the bottom, together by the door. I stopped on the stairs and just stared at them. I said, "You guys are huge! When did that happen?" I always picture them as my little children, but now they're giant! They're practically grown ups! It is hard.
The other day Conor wouldn't eat his dinner. I asked him to please eat, and his reply was, "I'm not going to eat so I don't grow. You said you didn't want me to grow up!"
Hold on to them as long as you can. It goes so, so fast.
your boys are adorable!
I want my little girl to stay small, no birthdays please!
