Shopping helper

I've grown accustomed to my crew of kids and don't pay much attention to the stares and smiles the girls get when we're out. Shopping this week, I noticed a women about 15 years older than me smile at us then look off and stick her bottom lip out. It occurred to me then just how many women tell me they miss their own children at this age, since it passes so quickly. I took this picture the next day of sweet Grace, who feels so grown up when she helps me. I'm very thankful for this time of my life with my children.
