And time can do so much…

You know that lyric from “Unchained Melody”: time goes by, so slowly…

What a bunch of bull.

Here I find myself, suddenly living in a house Josh and I bought, the mother of two children, and a full-time SAHM at 26 years old. When the heck did all this happen? Time isn’t moving by slowly for the Reillys. Liam is already a year and a half old, chattering away and turning into a little boy right before my eyes. Maeve is two months old and slept through the night for the first time last night. (PRAISE GOD.)

My wish and prayer is to be aware of how quickly time does go by, and to treasure every moment of this time I have with my children and husband.

I’m happy. (Or maybe I should attribute all this joy to my first night of actual sleep in about 4 months.)

Liam and Maeve Reilly

    Many of us, your adoring fanbase, think you live a splendid life, Kathleen; and we are honored to be among your friends and acquaintances.

    Also…what an adorable picture! Although, it does look like Liam is considering eating Maeve! :lol:

    Aw, thanks Steve.

    (He only nibbled on her a bit. No harm done.)

    I’ve got friends in your same position. I think that they’ve found that writing about parenthood helps them to appreciate the time as it passes …

    Is that a dig on how lax I am about updating this blog?

    Hehe.

    Okay, maybe a little one. But a loving one! ;)
