A Moment In Time..

Seems like lately all the hype is in movies and shows that reflect people with super powers of some sort. Our personal favorites at home being Smallville, Heroes, X-Men..... makes me wish sometimes I could have a super power of my own.

I wish I could stop time. Well, honestly, I wish I can be invisible sometimes too, but for all the wrong reasons. HA! So I think stopping time would be the way to go. You can thank my husband for these crazy thoughts in the first place. He is the one that encourages me to even watch these shows. He is a bad influence.

Really though, time is getting ahead of me these days more than ever. I can't find time to do the things I want or need to do and the days are jumbling together so quickly.

I cry every year on Tyler's birthday. Just because my baby is growing up so fast and really all my life he is all I ever wanted, and in a blink of an eye, there he goes. In just 11 days my little man is going to be 4. That means pre school, little league, kindergarten, I just cant do it you all!
Next it will be cars, girls and prom, then I will really lose it. He is his own person, not the baby I had to do every little thing for, and I miss that. Sometimes I think I need him more than he needs me.

Genesis is going to be 3 this year too, in just a couple of months. The beautiful baby girl with curls everywhere, and chubby cheeks is looking like a little pint sized lady these days. Still gorgeous of course, but you can see lady like features now, not just baby ones. Her hair is so cute, straighter now with huge curls at the ends. Her cheeks, more pronounced now, no longer the kind you have the urge to pinch. Her eyes, truly the prettiest ones I have ever seen. There has been such I change in her this Spring my heart can't take it. She is the SWEETEST girl ever to top it all off. Kisses and hugs and I love yous are never scarce with her.

These two are simply no longer babies. To the world anyway, to me they will always be my babies. Forever.

I will be 30 this year as well. (talk about heart ache) In about a month. It is overwhelming. 2007 is full of BIG things for the Lara Family. When I sit and think about it, its really just incredible. I am in awe of the way life goes...and goes.....

For today, I will think about how grateful I am for everything I have and for one more day to be alive and share in this amazing world. Tonight of course, I will pray that I can stop time and just stay here, in this moment, right where I am for a little while longer.
