Never Grow Up

My friend Christy shared this song with me tonight. I am sorry I am not more technically savvy or I would embed this video into the blog.  But listen to Taylor Swift's song, Never Grow Up.  It keeps tugging on my heart-strings!

Oh Darlin' don't you ever grow up, just stay this little. 

Oh Darlin', Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple. 

Gosh, I wish I could keep my kids little forever. 

I got a high school graduation invitation from one of the kids I used to babysit regularly when I lived in Amarillo.  She was 4 years old the first time I spend the weekend babysitting her and her older brother....now she is graduating from High School and ready to tackle the world. I cannot believe she was only a year older than Nathaniel is right now. It may sound cliche, but time really does fly.  I realize that this amazing phase of life will be but a faint memory before I know it.  Although each stage of watching my children grow up will have it's own ups and downs, I just wish I could stay at this phase of life a little longer.  Yes, even with the sleepless nights, I love, love, love it.  Thank you God for allowing me the honor and privilege of parenting these two amazing kids!

...even though you want to, please try to never grow up...
