The days are long, but the years are short

Over the weekend we were able to spend some time with our good friends, Mo and Ali and their handsome little guy Logan. Logan is about two months older than Hudson….it is amazing how time flies. Kelly, from one of my favorite blogs, Kelly’s Korner, always mentions that when raising little kids the days are long but the years are short. And man, that is SO TRUE!
Some days I feel overwhelmed with all I have to do to take care of Hudson and keep our house running. The days seem long and tiring….but then I blink and another month has gone by. I know that we will be celebrating both of these precious boys’ birthdays in no time at all.

The boys had fun playing together and we enjoyed watching them just as much! I love Wrigley in the background of this photo. He wanted to play with the boys so badly!

It was really hard to get them to both look at me at the same time. They were to busy playing. I don’t think that will ever change!

    I think it's so fun having play dates, especially at this age. I never really thought about it, but it's so true! The day are long and this year is totally flying by!
