Sadly, my sweet little baby boy will not stop growing …
but every day, he just gets cuter and cuter – at least, in his sisters and his mommy and daddy’s eyes. 
Be still my heart – how I do love you, little son!
Are those fingerprints you see on my kitchen door? A pile of laundry that needs to be tucked into drawers?
Yes, well, I know we all must care for our homes, of course {and I do so love a good house cleaning!} but I also realize how quickly our little ones suddenly become big ones.
In the afternoon, you will find me sitting on the front porch, holding this little sweet baby while he sleeps and listening to the children play, the birds sing and the wind whisper in the trees. My chores will always be there, but my children will grow and soon be gone. That makes me want to freeze time, but all I can do is treasure each day and every moment.
I read this poem about six years ago and it struck a chord in my heart. Listen to the beautiful words.
