Life moves quickly here — with these four children who are growing so rapidly — their legs stretching in the sunshine and arms reaching to each end of the piano, singing songs to each other, chasing the dog, competing to see who can draw the best picture, running in circles around the couch, every Marvel character coming to life in the living room, splashing in the tub, curls bobbing, lashes making half moons on their cheeks as they finally start snoring gently, sweetly.
But for me, as Mama of these amazing creatures, in these moments where they are truly immersed in loving one another, time stands still. I breathe deeply and take it all in, praying I remember every giggle, every piggy back ride, every push on the swings and every golden smile.
