burned in my mind...
a flicker of you
a flash
a frame
and you were suddenly there
and then there was no memory
of when you were not

Aw, such sweet pictures. Love the yawn!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to imagine life without our kids. Or that we HAD a life without them!
Once they're here, it seems like they have been all along doesn't it.
ReplyDeleteShocking to think they're so tiny...and grow so fast.
ReplyDeleteAwwww! Such a sweet poem, sweet pics. I especially love the little yawn at the end. Great memory post!
ReplyDeletelove the last line.
ReplyDeleteit is so hard to remember what it was even like before.
so true, kids have a way of taking over your little world, don't they?
ReplyDelete"and then there was no memory
ReplyDeleteof when you were not" - just perfect!
So agree. And oh so CUTE!
awww... so tiny! And I love the poem or thoughts that went along with the pictures.
ReplyDeleteLove the yawn at the end. So precious. Flicker and Flash and Wham - memories for the rest of your life.
ReplyDeleteThose pictures make me melt :)
ReplyDeleteaw! very sweet. :)
ReplyDeleteI am fond of telling people that I can't remember what it was like without my kids. If they aren't parents they look at me with a strange and somewhat bemused expression. If they are parents they can totally relate.
ReplyDeleteI am with everyone else--that yawn is too much! (In the cute department that is.)
is there anything as cute as a baby yawn...
ReplyDeleteIts true, once they are here, it's impossible to remember a time when they weren't.
ReplyDeleteLove those first pictures, when they are curled up still.
"and suddenly there was no memory of when you were not." YES.
ReplyDeleteWith my current baby lust, the pictures in this post made me salivate :)
So cute!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love that top photo, and of course, the rest are just adorable too.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. It's hard, so hard, to remember a time before children. I imagine things that must have been, a woman I must have been, but I can never really tell. And in the end, I know it does not matter so I do not try that hard. I turn to my kids and I smile. I look at old baby photos and coo.
ReplyDeleteThis wild ride of motherhood. As one other writer said, we are the memory-keepers now.
Hi my name is Doreen. I am visiting via Mrs.4444's contest. I wrote a book. Exciting Right? Actually very bittersweet. I hope you will stop by and visit me! The pictures are absolutely precious I am on pins and needles anxiously awaiting the arrival of my newest grand daughter on May 28th(c-section); she will be number 11 and the tie breaker 6 girls, 5 boys. Don't blink because they really do grow up so fast..
ReplyDeletebeautiful. have a nice wednesday, other WM.
