How time changes things....

Wow....I just updated the boys photos on the side bar, and I can't believe how much they have changed in just 2 years.  I mean, I'm their mom, I should notice these things, right??? I also updated their ages, and I sprung forward by only 3 weeks, and put Jacob's age as 11---I can't believe that either....11 years old.....
I was just texting with my sister yesterday, realizing that she was Jacob's age when Todd and I first starting dating.  I was completely unaware that time was sliding by so quickly!!! My baby just turned 6 last week, my oldest turns 11 in 3 weeks, they will all be in school full time in the fall.  It seems like just yesterday I had 4 little ones running around the house, and now I've got some handsome, young boys (men???) doing the terrorizing!!
I wish I could just hit pause, for too soon they will all be teenagers, then young adults and moving out to start their own families.  At the same time, I enjoy watching them grow, and take new steps in their lives.

A few pictures of our recent adventures.  We are currently back in Aix-en-Provence for our summer, but took a side trip up to the Netherlands to visit family.  As you can see, they boys are usually always goofy!!  They might get that from me though....
