jen kinkade says
slowing down time…not possible.
trying to enjoy it and soak up as much as possible is all we can do! and take lots of photos, scrap, blog to remember those frozen moments!! 🙂
Shandab3ar says
N’aw, way cute. Love your kiddies little outfits ♥
k8 says
they’re not even mine and I’m looking at the ‘babies’ saying to myself ‘oh, they look sooo big!’….
it’s really hard to appreciate it while it’s happening (some of the time anyway)…..but keep trying!

Kami Pfingsten says
Preciousness all around!!
Kimber-Leigh says
oh stephanie. that top photo melts my heart. what precious girls. i’m praying for you all…and hoping that your the next few days go by very slowly, full of family time and precious memories.
JillT says
First of all it is fabulous that you recognize how precious these moments are. Not sure I was always that smart at your age. Even better: you ARE slowing down time by recording your life now and keeping these moments forever. I know looking back gets me nowhere, but I would have loved to had this scrapbooking hobby back then instead of macrame, needlepoint, sewing 🙂
Lori P says
That first picture is a framer!

Those 4 little girls are growing up too fast!!! I so wish when my boys were little I had recorded so much more! But who knew about digital photos, blogs, etc. 29, 26 & 15 years ago??? I so wish I had at least written in a journal back then! Enjoy these days, as I can attest they fly by too quickly! And kudoes to you for your daily inspirational blogging (that you so kindly share with us).
Memories for you always.
Heather says
What a bunch of great pictures! The one of the 4 girls is by far my fave – such a photo to cherish!!!
kate sade says

I hear ya Steph! I wish I could slow time down too. It seems to be going at warp speed and I don’t like it! such sweet photos. Your girls are so darn cute!!!!!
Natalie says
I wish we could so down time also! They grow so fast.

Freckled Fawn says
the littles’ outfits in the last photo could not be any cuter! I love seeing chubby baby legs! 4 beautiful girls. you are so lucky, lovely lady.
Amy says
Such cute pictures! I feel ya on slowing down time. We are coming upon another deployment soon and I am so not looking forward to it… I just want my family together every year NOT every other year…
cococricketsmama says
agreed! Great pics!
ginny says
The Howell girls are all so cute! Love the babies’ outfits. Enjoy this time, it’s special.
Linda E says
Me too! My oldest will be off to college in 18 months! Have a wonderful day!
justem says
I’m insanely jealous of your “from the top” photo of the girls. I can’t get my TWO to sit still long enough. How ever did you manage with all four of them!!
Kim S. says
time. want it to stop for a while, then go in slow motion. my oldest will DRIVE next month. Seems absurd. Just yesterday he was the one with the chunky, loveable little thighs.
norah says
I applaud you for being so aware of the importance of the ‘little moments’.
I wish I had your energy and enthusiasm. I am 72 and did not have the advantage on internet, digi photos or blogs to keep me monitoring the ‘little moments’. Unfortunately my age has reduced my memories and many of those moments have faded. Luckily I have 5 children who remember some of them well!
Keep on recording the details of daily life. it will be important later!
Linda says
Beautiful family. You are blessed and I love how you realize it:)
Christinescraps says
I don’t always comment but tonight I just had too. You have the most beautiful and loving family!! Those pictures are just priceless. Thanks so much for sharing your precious family moments!
xoxo, Christine
Linda says
Do you ever look at the twins and try to figure out who they look more like, big 1 or big 2? I know big 1 looks so much like her daddy and big 2 more like you–but those twins, they are always throwing me for a loop. :> Sometimes they look like big 1 and other times big 2—and most of the time, they just look like themselves. I come from a large family, and man a live, sometimes, I put makeup on and I swear I am looking at my brothers eye or my sisters lips. :> Wow, this sounds freaky now that I typed it…lol.
Kathy Martin says
You have such a beautiful family, Stephanie! You are blessed! My family is three…and I love my boys too…more than anything in the world and treasure all our time together!
Serene says
Such sweet photos. Such a wonderful time. Savor it as much as you can.
Jette Gad says
Oh you have the most adorable girls ever…. love love love the first photo of them…so cute…
kirsten says
Beautiful photos. The babies are getting so very big! There is just something about Dads and their little girls-precious.
