What a change in only THREE years!

I have taken the kids strawberry picking early each summer for the past three years. They love it, I love it, and its always lots of fun... Usually HOT, but none the less fun :) In the three years, many things haven't changed...

Madison still eats more then she picks...

Anthony still wanders and explores quickly leaving behind his basket of berries for cooler things to discover...

The laughter and fun is always there, always loud, and ALWAYS makes me smile...

As I was uploading pictures from our berry adventure this year, I was amazed by how much the kids have changed... Major changes in just three years...

Long gone are chubby cheeks and baby grins... Now, the pictures capture big boys and girls, growing rapidly, quickly approaching full on school-agers. In only three short years I will be in the midst of the "tween" years... How can this be?

It seems like just yesterday (before I was comfortable picking... Mad was just over a year old and Anthony was a little over 2 and they were BOTH handfuls!!) I was pulling Madison in a wagon filled with a bucket of berries looking at pies in the market only to turn and discover she had ate more then half the bucket (oh was THAT diaper rash UGLY!!) 

Time is flying and I wish someone would hurry and invent that slow motion button for life... My babies are getting too big too fast!
