being a 'girl' is so hard sometimes ....

... see that darned 'black thing' that I have to wear ! I heard "them" saying its probably going to be another week or so to go !

Reminiscing on Mothers Day .......

Here they are again .... at 9+ and 6+ years old, and at that time, with Sasha, at 1+. Again, at this age, they're still so natural, unaffected and spontaneous.
Precious years, precious times ... thank goodness for cameras so that these unforgettable moments are frozen in time. I sooooooo love being a Mum:)))))))

REMINISCING ...... A TIME OF INNOCENCE

Many feel that Mother's Day is too commercialised. Maybe so ... but with the chaotic lives we lead, I guess we do need to have such annual "celebratory" days to make us stop, and make special time for our loved ones.
"Childrens Day", for me, is every day ... likewise, it would be wonderful if our kids treated "Mother's Day" the same way.
Now that my son and daughter are almost 23 and 20 years old, respectively, reminiscing over these photos this Mother's Day brought home the fact that they really do grow up TOOOOOOOOOOOO FAST! Here they are at 5+ and 2+ years old ..... I really, reeeeaaaaaally miss those early years, and
wish I could just dive into these photos and re-live those early years with them .... so untouched by the world, so trusting .... a time of innocence.
