Yesterday morning I woke up and saw that on the same day, four years ago -- February 20, 2013 -- I had posted a couple of pics on Facebook.
They took me back to a memory I love.
I was headed to the grocery store with my two girls: one, a two-month-old little bug in a rug that wasn't content unless she was in my arms, and a four-year-old companion who was intent on bringing her baby along to the grocery store, too.
(Because, #twinners.)
First of all: Mia is adorable.
Second: I love her outfit.
I totally hearted her in this dress, and this is still one of my very favorite pictures of her from that time.
Once I got up and running yesterday, I headed out to run some errands with that girl of mine that was the baby 4 years ago.
Not anymore.
We went to pick up 40 lbs. of fresh chicken to package, and then to get a treat and drop it off to a friend for his birthday.
We listened to Jack Johnson and John Meyer as we drove, and having just looked at those photos, I found myself thinking about how it was just like me and Mia. But it was her sister this time, almost the exact same age as that little strawberry-dress girl of 4 years ago.
Kind of a bit tender, but in a happy way.
I've been so lucky to have them.
And?
My days of small-errand-companions are almost over,
and I can hardly believe it.
