Please Don't Grow Up!

We just got back from a fun and crazy vacation that I will post about later.

Yesterday as we were driving home I looked around at my kids, who were all fast asleep and totally adorable (what is it about a sleeping child that makes you want to eat them up?!), and I suddenly had a panic attack.

They are growing up!
Right before my eyes!!
How can I stop this?
I CAN'T stop this!!

I looked at each one of their faces over and over again, hoping to imprint them in my mind for all time. I cried as I thought of them getting older. Why does this have to happen? Can't they stay my babies forever???

And then they all woke up, and for the next 8 hours I thought maybe growing up might not be so bad....
