Homage to Motherhood and Slow Time





A precious dream of a very dear friend of mine finally came true - motherhood! Her and her husband's gift is named William Tobias or Tobi for short. He has been a long time coming but now that he's here, life is never going to be the same. I got these pictures from her today and I can feel the happiness all the way across the seas.
At the same time today, Niko found an old video clip of our family Christmas back in 1999 when he was 3 and Alaia was 6. It was so precious too - they were so young! While watching it, I started thinking - how life comes at you so fast. My kids look and act a 100 times older than they were in the video, and I wonder, what happened between then and now.
All these thoughts made me want to slow down - considerably.
This post is for my friend and her new family and for us and for the spirit of slowing down and enjoying the moment. If only....
