Time doesn't stop

I can't believe how fast the girls are growing up! Adrianah is going to be 4 at the end of March and Petra is going to be 7 at the end of April. It is so hard to believe! I just registered Adrianah in preschool and she will start in September. Anita takes Petra to school for me and brings her home, one of Anita's sons is Aaron and he is in Petra's class, they have become quite good friends. Anita's youngest, a girl, Anika, and Adrianah have become pretty good friends because Anita and I have become pretty good friends, she is my "sponsor" for Passion Parties so we have been spending quite a bit of time together. Adrianah and Anika will be going to preschool together and Anita and I keep joking that when they go to school we will be "childless" and so we are going to become partners in crime! It is hard to believe that in 7 short months I will not have any children home during the week, it will be the beginning of many years that I can have the freedom of doing what it is that I want to do during the day, will I go to work full time, have more time to scrapbook, get motivation to get my house clean more regularly or just spend more time with my few good friends that I have? I guess we will see what happens.
Petra is really learning a lot in school! It amazes me every day how well she is doing with reading! She was pretty excited the other day when she came home from school and had a level H in her home reading. (It starts at A and goes up one by one). I don't know what I actually thought when I had kids but I never really thought about the fact that I will get old/er and as my kids get older, I too will get older, sometimes I have a hard time thinking about getting older.
My kids have taught me a lot in the last 7 years and I know they will continue to teach me more.

Lately Adrianah asks me often if we are going to go to grandma and grandpas today. She asked me not long ago if we are going to get to see grandma and grandpa and auntie Pam "this spring". Hopefully we will be able to make a trip down, at least to Montana to have our own little family reunion this summer. It must be hard for them to be so far away from my side of the family. I know it is really hard on me!
