As I tried to work up the motivation to take my weekly pic with my boys I was reminded of why I do it.
This is a picture from my 365 project.
In my mind it JUST happened.
Then I look at it and realize my youngest does not have that adorable little baby face and my oldest is quickly growing into a boy.
I do not have toddlers anymore.
When did that happen?
This was TWO YEARS AGO!
How did time go so fast?
I will look back when only a moment seems to have passed and not see this little man anymore.
He will be bigger and more confident.
Maybe he will not want to sit in mommy’s lap.
Maybe a little bug on a flower will not cause this look of wonder.
My six year old is quickly growing.
Changing everyday it seems.
One moment little boy and another a little man.
So for now I will take my pictures with my boys every week if I can.
I will hold them until they are too big to be held.
And I will have the pictures of not just what they were like at this age but how we were.
How I loved.
And was loved by two little boys.

Keep it up! These will be pictures that you treasure for years to come!
I will! I look back and love every single one!
No wonder you were crying writing this post.
I did not mean to make it so emotional! I know!
Very sweet! I love that you posted older photos followed by a few years later. Crazy how time flies
I just saw today some of the first ones I have of my boys and I that my husband took when my youngest was still a baby! I want another baby now!!! And I do not even like the baby age as much…crazy how pictures can do that to you!
What a touching post, kids do grow so fast! Your pictures are beautiful as usual 🙂
Thank you so much! I really enjoy them more when I am reminded how quickly it might end. Makes it bittersweet but beautiful!
Enjoy these moments. My eldest son graduated high school this year. I still feel like I just had him. Hug them often.
Best,
Sophia
Thank you I will!
This is such an inspiration. I have 2 boys as well. Mine are itty bitty and the days slip by so fast. It is so very important to stop and capture a moment together. You have inspired me to get creative with it!
Wow, thank you!!! Boys are awesome and keep me in shape 🙂
Oh my goodness these are so beautiful!
Thank you!
