Out to the Park



We met our friends at Arbor Hills today. It was so nice in the shade, but hot in the sun. The kids took their bikes and trikes and we attempted a short loop. Haley discovered that she really liked Hannah's bike...that's why she isn't in the group shot. She was riding ahead in front of us and decided to add a bike to her growing Christmas list. I know, and it is only September.

On the way home she asked me, "How old were you at my age?" Then, she asked what kind of Birthday parties I had and I started naming a few and she said, "I sure wish I would have been there for your Birthdays. It would have been fun."Then she made note of the fact that I sure had a lot of Birthdays. Indeed. I actually got a little teary as I said I hope I was there to have fun with her on all her Birthdays to come until she's as old as me. Wow, how important it is to not miss a day of loving our kids. One day, she'll be 31 and I can only pray that we'll all be happy and healthy to celebrate together!
