It makes me sad to think that she is my last child that I will be up with at night, rocking back to sleep, cuddling with and comforting. I am trying to cherish every second I can and am trying to slow down and not ask for her to grow up so fast. (although at times it would be nice for her to be old enough to communicate more) I keep reminding myself that I need to cherish the time that I am in with each of my children 'cause I will never get that time back.
Don't get me wrong... I am DONE having children but it is still kind of sad that this is the end of that part of my life. I love you, Breanna!

You just made me cry! Thanks for that post. It is a great reminder to all of us, to cherish the time we have now, it won't come back!
I SO can relate... Cooper is my baby, my last one and I don't want him to grow up either. I joke all the time that he will probably go to kindergarten with a bottle in his mouth because he is MY BABY! It is VERY hard to close that chapter, although at times it is nice knowing that it is closed... what's with all the mixed emotions? (smiles) I think I wished away Braydon's first 2 years just looking forward to that next stage... boy I wish I could have those years back. It goes by way too fast.
I love that picture of you & Breanna--beautiful. And lovely thoughts, too. We have to cherish these times, don't we?
You made me cry too. I did that with Zac and held on to every moment and now he is 9 and so grown up. That is a beautiful picture of the two of you
For as much as I hear that Chasey is Brad's little clone, I think the same of you and Breanna. She is such a cute little girl!!
I couldn't take my eyes off her as she was wandering the aisle a bit at church on Sunday. She looked soo cute. All of your kids are so beautiful. Those eyes!
I understand your feelings about the end... it's hard. Even when you feel complete, like you got all you were supposed to get. It's just letting that stage pass. Its all I wanted to do when I was thinking of my future... have babies! so it's weird to have my "future" all here. Now I have to keep figuring out how to get them all raised.
Thanks for the reminder, sis! I wish I could steal some of those Breanna cuddles. Love that little girl. Miss you.
I so ditto your thoughts and emotions. I feel like sometimes I am just rushing all those moments away while I am cooking dinner, sweeping up messes, cleaning dishes, checking on homework, and folding laundry.
It is kind of sad though to know these things won't come back again. I like this quote, "Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. It reminds us to cherish each moment because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived."
Those were such sweet words I got teary-eyed. I'm constantly reminded by President Monson's talk a few conferences ago to "enjoy the journey" Even when I'm cleaning up water that was thrown all over the carpet or poop off the steps. I always say I won't miss any of this but I'm sure I will eat my words when the time comes.
