Time flies

Seven years...SEVEN YEARS...

That's what I kept thinking as I sat having lunch with my nephew and niece today.

(Me, Cole, Grandma, Katie, Dad)

They turned seven years old. What a great seven years it has been too.

I remember when they were born. I was living in Springfield while I went to college and I drove up to Columbia when I heard they would be coming into the world. They were so small...

 Then from there on it's all just a blur, really. They grew fast...

And were full of smiles...

I have found myself as a happy and blessed aunt.:) I can't wait to see them grow even more into the man and woman of God they are meant to be.

Happy birthday Cole and Katie! I love both of you SO very much.

On another note (still pertaining to time flying by so fast):

I also ran into an old friend today while in my hometown of Stover. I hadn't seen Rebecca (known mainly by Popejoy - her last name) in years.

It made me realize how fast time flies.

I know everyone always says that time flies, but you don't actually realize it until you have proof of it flash before your eyes.
