Started scanning all the photos of my 5 children. Did some of my baby-twin girls (20 years ago) and found I did most of their dresses myself. I loved applique to decorate the clothes and also did a lot of knitting - today I wonder how I found the time to do all this with kids of age 6, 4, 2 (the boys) and newborn twins

Maybe lack of time today is to blame on the internet?

Oh yes, it was exciting all the time - even now that they are all grown up... but tomorrow (first time after 26 years) my DH and I are going to Greece. Looking forward to this holiday a lot

What cute babies! Time does seem to fly the older I get, but I do know that I find time to do the things I REALLY want.

Wow! How fun! Lovely children! As far as time, I totally get it and think that the young have a distinct advantage. Did you make their red coats with white fur trim?

Very cute pictures!!!

Yes the lack of time is to be blamed on our electronic devices, be it internet, cell phones, kindles, just name it and that's where a big chunk of time goes. My weekends, I am on the internet too much instead of what I actually need to be doing, Sad but true. Sharon

Ohhh, what beautiful pictures and memories for you. I agree, we seemed to make time for things like crafts and sewing before the internet arrived.

Toogie, I feel the same. DH was surprised when I informed him that our youngest is almost 34! Pat
