My husband and I and our youngest two kids call the Berkshires home. Originally from Tennessee, we moved to Vermont back in 2004 for five years and fell in love with New England. When we had a chance to return, we took it. Can you blame us? (photo by Robert)
Though winter is long in New England, it is still only a season. Spring has finally shown its face, and just like Hope and her puppy above, I am glad to greet it. Someone said life is a rollercoaster. In the beginning, you click, click, click along on that initial ascent. Then you hit the downhill, moving at what feels like 90 mph until you come to a screeching halt. Motherhood is like that. Those early days are long. Then suddenly, the years grow short. The change of seasons brings a steady reminder of how quickly these kids grow up.
Just sit back and watch them.
