It seems like every weekend she is getting invited to do things with her friends. I know she is loving it, but I don't like to let her go!

And the deacon's quorum presidency came over on Sunday to teach him how to pass the sacrament. It's hard for me to believe that my baby is already 12. He's such a sensitive kid and I worry for him when he serves a mission someday, but I know the Lord will take care of him. He still hugs me several times each day and I love it. I know I need to teach him to be tough and independent, but I hope he'll always stay sweet and loving as well.Wendihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05182455822784592676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8097339734335684643.post-74603558669858018312011-03-30T07:47:47.165-06:002011-03-30T07:47:47.165-06:00What a sweet post!

He always laughs and says I'm crazy to imagine he won't. But I know there'll be a day when it's more for me than for him :(Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03509169727773615479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8097339734335684643.post-84416076117703330842011-03-29T16:37:07.668-06:002011-03-29T16:37:07.668-06:00I probably feel this way even more so because my s...I probably feel this way even more so because my sister and her family were here yesterday and my nephew is leaving on a mission the middle of May. I so remember that big 6'1" boy as a baby and as a 12 yr old etc.... My sisters say from the time they become a deacon until the time they leave the nest happens in the blink of an eye!chercardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13314841357351024070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8097339734335684643.post-33397228392204420082011-03-29T16:34:03.397-06:002011-03-29T16:34:03.397-06:00It IS hard.

Just last night Trever fell asleep on my chest and he was just so sweet and peaceful and I wondered why they had to get bigger and crawl away and then walk or run away, and then grow and find a million reasons to think they are too grown to need you. I do want to raise independant children, but it is difficult sometimes. Perhaps those are just Mommy growing pains? I too have thought about how quickly it will probably go from here. (Some days I wouldn't mind fast forwarding to when Brenden has teenagers of his own... LOL) He will be old enough to serve a mission in just over 6 years! I guess having one so much older does make me cling on to my baby and wish he'd just stay small and sweet and snuggly.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12898957769917817474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8097339734335684643.post-49194527050602702362011-03-29T16:13:37.423-06:002011-03-29T16:13:37.423-06:00So true....they grow up way too fast and it is not...So true....they grow up way too fast and it is not fair! I wish they could stay under "our wings" forever :) I cannot believe he is going to be 12!!! He is such a good amazing boy, always has been, and a big part of that is because he has such a great set of parents that have raised him well.Lynnette and Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08739752161779653523noreply@blogger.com
