fleeting moments

The days fly by so quickly! F has two teeth and may be working on a third. E has made one of those barely perceptible cognitive leaps. I can't describe it, it just is. I first noticed it when, running into his Sunday School teacher in the hallway at church, he hollers over his shoulder, "Are we having Sunday School inside or outside today?" Two or three weeks ago they'd gone outside to blow bubbles. Keeping in mind that he's only three, it seems like a very mature moment to me. He is also very concerned with hurt feelings these days. He also wants to be sure that his apologies are accepted. "But you HAVE to accept my apologize!"

I love them so fiercely. I just want their lives to be good and full.
