It seems there has been a lot of major events happening in our lives lately. Starting with the birth of our beautiful baby girl (which we are still trying to post pics, we have not been able to download the pictures we have on CD, neither of us are computer savy). Brenaya is starting Kindergarten this year & mom is a little apprehensive. Shandilynn is growing into such an amazing person, she tries so hard to please everyone and can be so loving beyond her years. She is venturing out on her own a little between girl scout camp and attending birthday parties. Taylan will be ruling the elementary playground this year. As a sixth grader he is looking forward to being the one 'everyone looks up to.' Talk of prom dates & a mission were a part of a conversation with Grandpa Merlin & Grandma Debbie last night.
It is amazing how life can pass by so quickly, we hold our infant in our arms and wonder why, the best part of our life, childhood passes so quickly. We can still recall the moment of Taylan's first walk along Grandma Nae's couch. Shandilynn's temper tantrum when passer-bys trampled the flowers she tossed along the bridal path for Aunt Teresa. Brenaya as an innocent 1 year old dancing on a pole. Janalise has just started to laugh with such an angelic laugh.
These are the moments to treasure; The moments that wet the eyes, warms the soul and melts a heart. Life should be enjoyed with family and friends surrounding us. They are who we should laugh with and live for.

You are so good with your words. And it is all so true. Pete & I were just talking about that yesterday. With Ayden turning 3 already. It does go by so fast. You just have to cherish every moment with your kids.

Hi Tara! Just thought I'd say hello, I saw you on Teresas page! Your kids are growing up, mine are too. It is really crazy to think how quickly time passes. How fun for you to have another little baby girl around. I wish I was that brave. :) Hope all is well and you don't mind me stopping by to say hi! Kerryne
Hey David and Tara,
I am a bit slow at reading your blog. I just say a big ditto to Jenn's remarks. Funny I was just telling a friend the same thing Jenn said. It is so easy to say as a Grandma to eat up every moment and memory you can. Those children can be one pain in ........ sometimes, but they love you unconditionally. You are ever soooo right Jenn, you do need to cherish every moment. Love your blog and can't wait to see the pictures! Love ya, Deb
