My inspiration for this record of my days:

“The biggest mistake I made [as a parent] is the one that most of us make. . . . I did not live in the moment enough. This is particularly clear now that the moment is gone, captured only in photographs. There is one picture of [my three children] sitting in the grass on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages six, four, and one. And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less” -Anna Quindlen

Hold You

The phrase is actually pronounced more like “ho joo,” but it’s one of my favorites.  How could I possibly resist this little guy following me around, jumping up and down saying “ho joo!  ho joo!” ?

It gets me every time.

    That was one of my favorite phrases from my little Sarah. Enjoy it! She just recently outgrew that one. It's bitter sweet as their communication grows up.
