Mom's 31st

Today we took the Pinheads to the lake to have a bit of water fun.  Summer has gone so fast and we haven't had much good family time.  PinDad is working a ton and we are all spread pretty thin.  Tomorrow is my 31st birthday and PinDad is heading out for training for a couple of weeks which leaves me to party hardy with the Pinheads.

Time seems even more precious lately than it usually does.  It hits me everyday how fast the Pinheads are growing-up faster than I would like.  Each day I am forced to accept how tall they are, how much they have learned and how independent they are becoming.  Life has been so hectic lately that I haven't slowed down to appreciate them as much as I would like to.  I am trying hard to eliminate distractions in my life so I don't feel so hectic all of the time.

Today we slowed down :)
