Family traditions - one moment at a time

It truly is hard to believe that my Lauren, born at just 6lbs, 4 ounces and my E, born at 8lbs even, are now these two big, happy, and strong girls.  We had one of the best family vacations at Rocking Horse Ranch in Highland, NY.  (When I told my mom I was taking the family there, she reminded me that she and my dad took me and my brother there when we were kids ourselves.  How wild is that?)  We just enjoyed our precious, uninterrupted time together as a family for three full days.  In my true fashion, each day had an agenda (horseback riding, paddle boating, bungee trampolining, Easter egg hunting, swimming, etc.) and the girls had the time of their lives.  We woke up together and went to bed together. We ate three meals together and danced together. 

This trip made me further appreciate - rather, cherish - this magical time in our lives.  They will never be almost 5 and almost 3 ever again.  But moment by moment, day by day, experience by experience, trip by trip, I look forward to building meaningful family traditions and extraordinary lasting memories.
