My girls turned 23 on April 29. Time is flying and I was digging in the old pictures which my eldest son digitized over the winter. I wonder how I managed to sew and knit most of their baby clothes myself - also for my three boys: In 1994 they were 6, 4 and 2 years old and then we had the girls finally

Thank you for all your kind words. Yes, it is true. We all feel the same about time and that we did have more time in the past.
For some extent I think it is because we all have closer relationships to grown-up children, their partners, grand-children, other relatives, friends and the friends at Cute here. The most important thing is that we spend this time by loving all mentioned above and doing lovely things for them.
Thank you too for being friends here. Maria

So adorable Maria, and yes, where do the years fly by to? I can't believe how the older I get the quicker the years go by. I agree with Miss Lillian 100%. Thanks for sharing these gorgeous pictures of your baby girls from all those years ago. I bet they are gorgeous now! Love Chris

So very precious and I'm sure they still are. You were awesome to do all you did. Is it just me or does it seem like we had more time, 20, 30, 40 yrs ago. The older I get the faster time goes./Lillian

Was für hübsche Bilder. Das mit der Zeit für Stricken und Nähen ist mir auch aufgefallen, ich bin immer voll arbeiten gegangen, war mit meinen 3 Kindern oft alleine weil mein Mann dienstlich unterwegs war und trotzdem habe ich für mich und die Kinder viel selbst gemacht.

Ganz tolle Strickarbeit uns suesse Bilder von den zwei.

Ich kann das verstehen. Die Zeit vergeht. Meine Zwillinge sind jetzt 43 und Ihre 2 Geschwister 53 und 48. Als sie klein waren hab ich viel mehr gestrickt und Handarbeit gemacht als jetzt wo ich alleine bin. Frag mich auch oft wo ich die Zeit dafuer hatte.

Awesome knitting and cute Picture of the two

I understand how time flies. My twins are 43 and their 2 siblings 53 and 4. When they were little I did a lot more knitting and crafting. Not so much now even though I am alone. I often ask myself where I found the time.

4? !!!

Most probably meant 53 and 48 Toogie as in the German interpretation above. Love Chris

I didn't even look at it Chris...I was having a heart attack-lol

Ha, ha. I would have a heart attack as well. Yes my daughter is 48. I had them all 5 years apart.
