It's been a while since my last post, but I found myself playing nursemaid to sick boys these past two weeks. I suppose I shouldn't complain as they're not usually this ill, it's also made me realize how fast they grow up!
I watch as they walk into school or on the soccer field and cannot believe that they are little men in the making. It becomes clearer the older they get (and of course taller!). At times i feel nostaligic for times when they were younger, and keen to spend time with mum and dad. Now most of the time we spend together consists of driving to and fro, and the usual mealtime get togethers. Its sad to become waware that the 'old' days are gone, that your responsibilites are getting greater.
Whilst I know that I cannot turn back the clock, I do know that its important to spend as much time as I can with them. These moments are so transient, and when they were sick it was like having my three little babies again! Now they are all better, back to being busy with school, sport, friends and games!
My word of advice to mums and future mums out there is to enjoy the trials and tribulations... and more importantly cherish the good times. In fact, hold all the moments dear in your hearts. :-)
I've put together some pics of some memorable family moments...
