My cousin Sarah and I sat watching them. I had tears running down my face watching my babies once again. We didn't really take home movies when they were little and so these videos are wonderful glimpses back into time. So funny, that I remember living in that house waiting for our life to really begin, I remember the kids being so little but really didn't remember what they were like?
This video is Conner and Elizabeth dancing to "What a Wonderful World" and is so sweet. It reminds me of a time when they had fun together and enjoyed spending time together. These days they are two teenagers who love to bicker and stay away from each other. Truly was a wonderful world back then and I miss those days.
The next video was taken at the same time in the same house. We obviously had just moved in and things were a mess. Elizabeth was being five, cute and sweet while singing me "Hollaback Girl" and Conner...well this video is classic Conner. Some things never change and this is proof of that. You can hear Conner during the whole video whispering to E. I laughed so hard watching this video this morning and so did Marty.
Kids grow up so fast. You don't really realize it is happening while they are young and need more. I remember being so tired and overwhelmed during those days. In the midst of it all the kids grow up, life gets easier and then you miss those days. I remember so many moms saying that but never really understood until it happened.
Loved having a peek back into those days and wanted to share it.
I was laughing at these, with wistful wishes that sometimes we could go back - if only for a few minutes.
