This is a picture of my mom and dad on their wedding day. Isn’t it great? I love the energy, the magical combination of the wind and the children and all the new beginnings that are represented.
I’m blogging today at How to Homeschool Highschool, where I’m chatting about growing up and, really, does that mean we have to lose that magic?
I’d love to have you join me there! Click here, and pop on over.

I sometimes gets emotional looking back at old pictures, of less lined faces and less knowing smiles. As Jodi Mitchel sings: Well something’s lost, but something’s gained. In living every day. I looked at a picture of Amy on a holiday in Cyprus today when she was just 8 and I was pregnant with Jake. its on a neglected digital picture frame that is long out of sync with day and night due to power cuts and time changes. I looked and my heart ached a little but I reminded myself I have been there, in the moment, yet the moments fly so fast and nostalgia makes fools of us all.
That is a lovely picture. I too was married on a blustery day and it felt magical then too

I am like that, too. I haven’t done a good job of scrapbooking or keeping pictures organized, so I don’t have the pictures at my fingertips to look through. I found an envelope when I was cleaning the other day that had a picture of the boys when we first moved to the farm. Ten years ago. Carter is barely three, Colton is seven, and Tyson is nine. Tyson is younger than Carter is now! I looked at their little baby faces and I cried a bit, too.
We moms are all a bit foolish, I think.

Trying to hold time is like trying to hold a pile of sand with an open hand. sigh.
I look at Dan when Amy was a baby and he is a baby himself. I don’t think there is any cure for it, the foolishness of mothers
This song gets me every time.
