An interview with Savannah

 When did this

and this

and especially this

become this beautiful young woman?  I swear she was just yesterday that little girl that crawled around on all fours constantly, pretending to be a dog, drinking from a dog bowl and having strangers scratch her tummy.  In a blink of an eye, she grew up into a teenager and blossoming woman.  More than anybody else, Savannah getting older makes me feel the years slipping through my fingers.  My mom warned me the years would go fast, and then my children would be gone.  It's hard to imagine that as a young mother walking the floor with her first baby night after night, or having to watch and/or sing along with the Barney song for the upteenth time that day.  However, watching my "baby" grow up, and counting down the number of Christmases left before she's gone (though I try not to), has changed my perspective.  Time does go so quickly!  And the moments with my children have become so precious!  I want to remember what they were like at each age, so I can read this blog book and cry over it because I'm an old lady without any kids left at home.  Or something less depressing:)
