Reminiscing

Reminiscing. 

The other night when my daughter was visiting we drug out the old videos from her childhood. We especially wanted to view the ones from when she was the same age as her son is now. We all agreed that as adorable as she was as a baby, our little grandson was even cuter. 

We then watched her grow up before our very eyes. She pointed out the fact that today's videos were just short snippets of time captured on a cell phone, and not like the videos of the past that seemed to tell more of a story. 

We laughed as we watched her gobble down gummie bears found in her Easter eggs, and listening to her call me mommy in her two year old voice brought tears to my eyes. My husband and I agreed on the blessing of being her parents, and were grateful for all the fun times we had shared. 

Perhaps the best part of viewing those videos was the reminder of what a great job both our daughter and son-in-law are doing as parents. We couldn't help but be reminded of them as we watched our much younger selves frozen in time parenting our own sweet daughter. Taking that trip down Memory Lane sure was fun!
