Back to School Blur

It just does not seem that long ago that I could fit both the twins in a laundry basket. How is it possible that they are now in 1st grade! ? Time is so tricky and now these 2 would never fit in a laundry basket:
It is what is supposed to happen, they should grow up. I know all too well that it is a parent’s worst nightmare when their child/children are no longer growing. As I wrote here, I am still trying not to “grow” up Jake and Sawyer in my mind. I know that there is no point of grieving over every stage and milestone that they will never reach. Some days it works better than others.

Now that they are older–instead of sitting in the laundry basket–perhaps you can start getting them to help with the laundry! 😉

I know it is not important — like being kind, and generous, and considerate, and thoughtful — but your kids are SO CUTE. I hope all y’all do okay with the start of the school year; it’s rough under the best of circumstances.

Oh that quote is so true. It’s so hard but at the same time I thank goodness that I have living kids, I’m not sure how else I would have been able to keep putting one foot in front of the other. Your kids are adorable, best of luck with 1st grade.

I also often wonder what Amya, Ananda Mae’s sister would look and be like. I guess given I have Ananda Mae, it seem too easy to imagine, given they were identical twins. For me it’s a way to remember her.

They are so cute, and I love seeing all the pics as they grow. Hope first grade is going well so far.
