MY PHOTO HUNT VOL. 5 - GROWTH



What we demand from our children, we must demand of ourselves. There must be a standard by which they live. As parents, we must set it - and live it. - Jim Rohn
I choose family growth for my theme this week. I was going to post it last night, but then, I was having such a nice family time with my babies and husband. For a weekend night, my kids were so wonderful by going to bed before eight. Darling Husband and I caught up on some movies at home and Chipotle dinner. I am really starting to like Chipotle's spicy offerings.

Five years ago, my mother has three grandkids. Two are mine and the other boy is my nephew. My little sister Happy's son. Then there's my kids 4.5 years ago at another zoo looking at something on the ground.
Then there's me and my two older kids 6 months ago. My sister and I went to a zoo nearby. There were 13 grankids now. That's some impressive growth from a woman [my mother] who has five children. I am the eldest of 5 children, and I also happen to have the oldest and younger grankids right now. That's something!

Below is another picture of the first three grankids 6 months ago. See how much they've grown from the photo inset above.


I really did went "hunting" for this photos because they were scattered in three different computers and two different storage disks. Here's "The Girl" after her piano recital last May. She's absolutely gorgeous. No mother can be happier to have such a daughter.

I thoroughly agree with this guy. What do you think?

Here's a nice quote I found on MommyStuff blog.

“There are no such things as limits to growth, because there are no limits on the human capacity for intelligence, imagination and wonder.”
- Ronald Reagan

Not only do children grow up fast, but families too eh? My mother has only two children and she has 10 grandkids in total. Three from me and the rest from my sister. :)

Girlie said...

Hi Niceheart!

Yeah, family grows.

My mother came from family of 8 children, one died at birth. She's the youngest.

My father came from a family of 12 children, he's the youngest.

I was aiming for 12, got 6 pregnancies, but only five babies. They're just the perfect number for me.
