Getting bigger


Just last night Rob went in to check on both kids before we went to bed and he comes into our room shaking his head. "Man she is getting so big" It got me thinking about how fast Cooper went from a little baby to a full blown toddler into everything. Now Caddie is moving across the room and in a few short weeks will be crawling, then walking, and talking. I came across this poem today and it just hit me right. So I got out the paints and took an imprint of each kid's foot and now forever we will have this time froze in a footprint.

My Footprint

Someday I'll run through puddles,
take a stroll or run a race.
Someday I'll walk across the street,
or maybe walk in space.
Someday I'll scale a mountain ,
or I'll join a ballet corps.
Someday I'll walk a tight rope
or explore the ocean floor.
Someday these feet will do some things
that only heave knows,
but for today they're happy
just to wiggle all their toes.
