Time Stand Still

The other day I was listening to "Time Stand Still" by Rush during my run and the lyrics really hit home. Time is moving too fast. My kids are growing up much too quickly and we are so busy that time is just flying by.

"Summer's going fast, nights growing colder.
Children growing up, old friends growing older.
Freeze this moment a little bit longer.
Make each sensation a little bit stronger."

Here are a couple of recent pictures that I like of each member of our family:

Ben with his cousin, Parker.
Austin saving a goal.
Alex playing Clearfield
Bill and Erin at Applebees.
Just a little word of advice today: enjoy the moment!

It's a Hard Knock Life!

This summer Austin and Erin participated in a local production of Annie Jr. directed and produced by our good friend Dana Francis. She does an amazing job every year. I'm always blown away by the incredible performance by the kids considering they only rehearsed for about a month, three hours a week. The most important part is the kids have a really good time and it's a great way for them to spend those long summer days.

Austin played an orphan and President Franklin D. Roosevelt (which by the way, was a perfect part for him!) and Erin was cast as an orphan. She had a couple little solos which she just loved. I think she will continue doing theater while Austin may or may not, depending on what his friends do. I had to do a little convincing to get him to be in this one and I know he didn't regret it. So, enjoy a few pictures from Erin and Austin's play!
