As the days, weeks, and years of Little Robby's life thus far have passed, I know I have found many joys, but it is at times like his birthday, that I realize how much time is now gone. As a child, each year seems an eternity, but now that I am a mom, each year seems but a fleeting moment. I know Robby is not grown yet, but to think that his time as a child in our home is more than half way over is hard for me to imagine.
My labor of love this week was putting together a slideshow of Little Robby's life. Seeing each of these moments that I remember so vividly on the screen, makes me wonder whether I have savored these moments enough. Our children are only little for so long. Yes, I will admit that I have cried a little this past week... not because he's making me older, but because I sometimes wish I could sneak back and relive some of these moments with him.
I am so very grateful to have Robby as my son. He is a blessing and a miracle in my life. I know that there will be many moments to come in his life that I will cherish just as those in this slideshow, but now I realize that I need to slow down and savor this moment because it only lasts so long.
I hope you enjoy reflecting with me...

That was so sweet. I remember bugging my chemistry teacher over and over again to use her phone so I could call home to find out if he'd been born yet. He was such a cute baby. Happy Birthday!
It really does seem like he was born just yesterday. Happy Birthday Robby!
So sweet. He was such a cute baby! My goodness, this family has cute babies. And now he's a handsome young man. Good work.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY (not so) LITTLE ROBBY!!! November is the best month for a birthday.
Oh, gosh that made me tear up!
Wow! Time flies.... He reminds me more of you, Sharon, every day. Happy Birthday to Robby (and my condolences to his parents). This means Elisabeth will be 10 soon, too. I think I'll go sob somewhere now, too. :)
Wish we could have been there to help celebrate!

Happy Birthday Robby!
Wow, 10?!?! Happy belated Birthday! That was a great video. It made me cry! He has grown so mcu. He's such a handsome young man. I love the picture of Jenna looking up at him. It's amazing how fast time flies now and how the kids just keep getting older. It's exciting but sad. I feel your pain.
