Cody, Amanda, Cade, Chloe, and Cora Rose

Our sweet girl turned one month old yesterday! The month flew by so fast for our family. With her birth and the birth of our best friends baby boy, Fisher; learning also, that they are moving away; and getting prepared for Cade's surgery, we feel like we haven't stopped.

I want to stop and take it all in. Life goes by too quickly not to. How can a whole month go by and you not even realize it?? I look back and can't even remember what Cade was like when he was one month old. I want to remember. I want it to go by slow. I don't want my babies to grow up or our friends to move away. But I know that's not how God created life to be. It is always changing and moving. We have to soak it in as much as we can and revel in what God has blessed us with. And give Him thanks that he even gave us this short time on earth. I think the fact that life goes by so fast makes us realize how precious it is and that we should treasure the important things-Time with Him, and with our family and friends. If it went by slow, we would totally take advantage of it.

So, my goal for this month is that. To treasure the days with my babies, even when they are fussy and clingy and won't sleep or do what I want them to. To treasure the time we have left with Laura, Preston, Grace, and Fisher while they are here. To treasure my time with Cody and maybe go on a date or two. And most of all, to treasure my time with the Lord and every day he blesses me with.
