i can't tell you how many times i've said the same thing to my boys...they think it's hilarious when i say i want them to stay small forever...in fact my 4 yr old (now 5) responded with, "i don't want to be a small daddy!" LOL

love the energy in the photo...

Mine are 19, 17 and 13.. time has gone too fast-- I would love to go back- but I wouldn't want them to stay little forever- each age has brought new adventures.
As they are maturing they are still my kids but they are also becoming my friends.

Could you be a better mom? I think not.

Actually, that quote is not from J.M. Barrie, as it doesn't appear in either his play or book of Peter Pan.

BELIEVE!

The Never Fairy, I'm PRETTY sure this one is him. . . he just said it. It's not in his play or book. . . but out of his mouth. . . ;)

I could be wrong though!

Either way, it's beautiful. . .
