Then I think, the unpacking will always be there but these times will not.
We are loving our new house. I think we will be here for a long time. Watch our kids grow up here. I know that we will look back on this time and marvel at how little they all were. (It's entirely possible that I am having a little trouble with Lakshman getting bigger and no longer being a newborn. Ok, more than a little.)
I know this is cliche, but I love them being little. Time feels like it is rushing past me. It makes me happy and sad all at the same time. It is so good but I know it will be gone soon.
And yes, there are good times ahead, but can I help wanting time to stop just for a little bit?
Yes, we have so many plans right now. We had the house painted and kitchen updated a little. (The walls were green before, ok? Yuck!) And now I want to build shelves in the playroom. Maybe a dress up rack. Or even a teepee and reading nook? Hopefully I will get at least one those projects done but for now I feel like I need to hit the pause button. It will come together but I have to take my time and enjoy the journey a little bit too.
Congrats on the new house!! and yes, sometimes you just have to slow down and savor the moments...it does all go by sooo fast! :) Evie
ReplyDeletePlaying with the kiddos sounds like much more fun than unpacking. There is nothing like a growing baby to draw attention to how quickly everyone else is growing up. I find myself desperate to hold on to my kiddos' childhoods, just a tad longer...okay, a LOT longer.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new house! Wish we had a remote to pause time to stop the kids from growing up fast!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you've found a house to make your home! Have fun enjoying your little ones, the chores can wait. :)
