7 Months Home (a few days late)

On February 3, Tedi had been home for seven months.  I can not even tell you how crazy that is to me.  It has been a beautiful, exhausting, laughter-filled time in our lives.  Though not easy...definitely blessed change...

How precious (Thanks Chrisanna for this pic)

7 months Later with Daddy
With T being home seven months, it makes me wonder where the time has gone.  I love this song and thought the lyrics to be fitting....not only with Tedi's growing but with every relationship, friendship, encounter that I have...

It Happens in a Blink
by: Revive
Teach me to number my days
And count every moment before it slips away
Taking all the colors before they fade to gray
I don't want to miss even just a second more of this

It happens in a blink
It happens in a flash
It happens in the time it took to look back
I try to hold on tight, but there's no stopping time
What is it I've done with my life
It happens in a blink

When it's all said and done
No one remembers how far we have run
The only thing that matters is how we have loved
I don't want to miss even just a second more of this

It happens in a blink
it happens in a flash
it happens in the time it took to look back
I try to hold on tight but there's no stopping time
What is it I've done with my life
It happens in a blink

Slow down, slow down
Before today becomes our yesterday
Slow down, slow down
Before you turn around and it's too late

It happens in a blink
it happens in a flash
it happens in the time it took to look back
I try to hold on tight but there's no stopping time
What is it I've done with my life
It happens in a blink

  1. Hey guys,
    I've enjoyed keeping up with you and Tedi through the blog. Isn't it amazing how fast time flies...If you're like Holly and I...it's hard to imagine Tedi or Ellie not being with us. I like that.
    Hoping we can get our kiddos together sometime soon...we'd love to see you guys.

  2. Your Tedi is seriously so cute. I love him! It is crazy to think that it has been 7 months. I mean really, where does the time go? So happy you're enjoying your new life as a family of 3! Tedi and Yemi couldn't be any cuter together!
