memory lane

Ben, Laura, and Emily summer 2003 (Emily {in stroller} and Savannah look a lot alike I think); Ben, Laura, Brandon at the beach '02 ; Bran and Laura around 1999

A piece of cake with the first 4...those were the easy days. Just kidding. It's never been always easy. I can remember saying after each baby.....we're done....we have enough... But here we are, fortunate with 4 more. Looking at their cute little faces, I can see why. It's a little bittersweet looking at the photos. Some days I want to go back and do it all over again, but most days i don't because that would be too hard. I do miss my older ones being little. All of these pictures were before life started getting more challenging...before the m/c's, Audrey's very premature birth & then Savannah's, the last 7 yrs of difficulties here and there....I'm over it and moving on, but still....; so in a way it was easier back then....more innocent and carefree for sure. Good memories and good times are nice to have. They tend to make the stressful times soften a little bit.
