Where has the time gone? No seriously, where?

I said that I would try to write more often and it's not like I hadn't thought about it; I just didn't.  Life has sped up, slowed down, seemingly stopped, threw me into a tizzy and yet one thing still remains true, I like to write on occasion.  I even had a little spark of thought to write a play for church based off a song I heard. All of these thoughts in my little head waiting to come out.

The last time I wrote I had one grandchild and now I have two, both boys and both utterly adorable.  I get a little upset when I'm around them because I don't have the energy needed to play with them, because their energy seems infinite in comparison.  Then I feel older than I've ever admitted but it's okay, I grab them when I can and get all of the hugs and kisses I can before they wiggle away.  And it's an extra treat for me when they fall asleep in my arms while I'm content to just sit there and hold them.  Not daring to move because I know that moments like those are fleeting.  Before I know it they'll be much older and letting me cuddle them will be the last thing on their minds.

I used to wonder how my granny felt about me and my siblings when we were kids and I can only imagine that it had to be something like what I feel about the boys.  How awesome and delightful it is to see the products of your children, running around and speaking a language only they understand.  Especially amusing to me are the emotions, facial and verbal that my children express when the kids do something that amuses or irritates them.  Ah, the payback that I don't think I've ever verbalized to them but many times have secretly imagined.

From infants to toddlers with such strong personalities.  I love them so much.  I can't wait until they come to visit again.
