It’s true time really flies so fast. I realized with a little pinch in my heart as I look at my kids.. they are no longer babies! In fact, my youngest, my dear boy outgrew me already by an inch ( it was easy anyway because I’m on the short side hehe). I was glad and a little sad at the same time. .
I am very grateful more than ever now that I’m able to spend time with my kids as they grow. I have a few more years with them before they go on their own paths and have their own families. Whatever and wherever their future brings them, I hope they will always come back home to me and my husband for short visits. I am so looking forward to that.
Meanwhile I would like to make delicious memories with them that will entice them to do so. 😀
It’s summer vacation for my not-so-little boy (but still very much my baby) and his life revolves around playing video games, watching tv, training and practice and EATING!
This is one of his favorites. Pancakes…especially chocolate pancakes.
