[3 year old; 5 months old]

Little G turned 3 on wednesday, and K will be 5 months old today. It is amazing how time flies by so quickly! I was just reminiscing on all those years spent without any children, just the 2 of us, without any responsibilities and commitments. How life seemed to be an endless adventure, we would go on holidays without much planning, just content to soak up the local scene. Now it's so different, we've got these 2 little ones, time seems to be passing by so much quicker with their existence! We measure the years and months and hours and minutes by their age, we see how they develop, mentally, emotionally and physically. It is such a totally different life, one that is enriched daily by little precious nuggets that only us as their parents find particularly amusing and awesome. Of course, it is also filled with countless frustrations and irritations, when life gets a bit OTT and we just strive for that little bit of 'me' time. It's only been 3 years, but what a rollercoaster ride it has been, and will continue to be.... Thank you my little girls, for showing us sooo much of ourselves.... for being in our lives :
