I have always said that someone pushed a fast forward button on my life once I had kids. It seems like life goes by so quickly while you have growing children in your home. On one hand, it is awesome to see the person they are becoming. On the other, it's terrifying to think how close your kiddos are to leaving the nest.
Today was one of those days though that I wished for a pause button. Aidan, my little man, the one I used to call punkin' until he got too old and too cool for it, just turned 15.
Instead of playing with Legos and watching cartoons, he is now at Robotic's practice six days a week and ordering his class ring. He's talking about getting a summer job. And driver's training. Lord help. We have less than three and a half school years before graduation. How on earth did this happen so quickly?
Aidan is such a blessing. He is growing into a sweet, kind and loyal young man. If he comes home and I am in bed, his first question is "are you ok mom?" He has really learned to go with the flow during my Sjogren's journey and more than once, he has had to be the one to make the call to Dad that I need to go to the hospital. He is dedicated to his Robotic's team and loves what he does. He has such a bright future ahead of him, but could it just wait a bit longer?
Being a mom is the toughest and best job I could have ever asked for. It blesses me daily even when it stresses me out. I love you Aidan!

Where has the time gone?
Whew! Another long, long break! Between the holidays, another meningitis hospitalization in early December for me, two polar vortex storms of enormous proportions and my husband having a week long stint in the hospital himself, I haven't even thought about this poor, neglected blog. How many times have I done an update in photos and then promised to come back? Well I am really working on my organization and prioritizing so I hope I can keep to it this time. In the meantime....here are the last few months in pictures...
Mama/Daughter Day at the Ballet
Ani & I went to see The Nutcracker and we were able to go backstage and meet the dancers. Annika was on cloud nine because the girl who danced Clara was named Annika as well (though spelled Anneke).
Christmas Crafting with my bestie & kids
The kids painted snowman votive holders and Lea & I painted several winter/Christmas themed wine glasses like the snowmen above.
Christmas Eve
My hubby and I did some very early morning Christmas Eve shopping. The weather was beautiful! And then the candlelight service at our church and the tree after the kids went to bed.
Cotton Candy!
The kids gave me a cotton candy maker for Christmas. Dangerous!
Sewing!
Jimmy gave me a sewing machine for Christmas and this pot holder was my very first attempt at sewing.
The Best Birthday Ever!
In addition to adding to my new Pandora bracelet, Jimmy spoiled me this year on my birthday by getting me the Naked 2 eyeshadow palette by Urban Decay! And then, my lovely friends surprised me with a small birthday party and cake pops. I am so blessed!
