Getting older and cuter :)

The kids are getting older and that is making me sad and happy.  Owen weighed in at the doctor the other day and is now heavier than Ellie weighing in at over 60 pounds (Geez!) and he is such a smart kid.  Magdalyn is talking constantly... almost non-stop and Elise reads so well that I can't believe she is only 5.  

Of course I am happy about their achievements and it makes me feel good that I am doing at least a couple things right.  I can cope a little better knowing that a baby boy will be joining our family in a few months.  We think we will name him Mason.  He'll certainly be cute and sweet and we will love him dearly.  Thinking about having a baby makes me think about when my other babies will small and makes me miss them as babies.  Ugh, I want them small and I want them big.  It would be nice if I could just choose each day how old I would like them to be that day.  That sure would be nice.  Unfortunately, that's not how it works so I will just have to try and soak up each age as it comes and cherish the times that I now get to look back on.  Of course, there are lots more memories and love to be had.  Looking forward to that.
