Slippin' through my fingers...

My friend, Maria, gave me a CD for Mother's Day that she made with a bunch of songs for mothers on it. "Slippin' Through My Fingers", by ABBA, was one of them and I've had that song in my mind ever since I popped the CD in the player of my suburban. I.love.this.song! I've loved it ever since I saw "Mama Mia" at the Fox Theater a few years ago. I sing it at the top of my lungs in the car over & over & over again.

With that song in mind, here's pictures from the Stake Prom Riley went to about a month ago. She looked so pretty and grown up...

Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see whats in her mind
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
And save it from the funny tricks of time
Slipping through my fingers...

Not much time left ! Soon she will just "come and go" !

I felt like the time between baby and four, and fourteen and 18 were the fastest passages and you are leaving one and beginning the other ! No more babies; no more little girl ... ;o(

I'm going to have to go download that from itunes today!

Riley looks so beautiful and so grown up! Where's her smord? What about when she knew all the words to Barney's cd???

Riley is really growing up. Her dress is so pretty. Isn't that the hardest thing? finding a modest prom dress?

I can attest - time goes pretty quick. Mom is right. for me, once they hit high school - time speeds up.

Ditto Melanie. When I think of Riley, I think of a binky in her mouth, carrying around smords and guns. She really is growing into a beautiful girl!!
