The other day Ash and I did something simple. We played a game. Nothing fancy. Nothing terribly messy or time consuming. Just spending time together with no other distractions. As I go back over these pictures I can't help but feel a little sad. I look at these moments frozen in time. Her perfect little toes. The sweet curls framing her face. All of this time is slipping away so quickly. I let WAY too many of these moments pass without taking the time to enjoy them. As a mom I often feel "bothered" when asked to stop and play. "In a minute"..."not right now"..."I'm busy"...are too often my reply. Before I know it she's going to be 15 and feeding ME these lines when I ask to spend time with her.
So, I'm making a new years resolution. to play a little more. be less busy. make the most of these moments. i want lots of these moments to remember. but for now here are a few to help serve my memory in the years to come. ;)
i love you ash.
have a great day!
