Happy Birthday, Tehya and Paeton

 Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play?
I don't remember growing olderWhen, did, they?

When did she get to be a beauty?


When did he grow to be so tall?

Wasn't it yesterday when they, were, small?
Sunrise, sunset, Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze

Sunrise, sunset, Sunrise, sunset

Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears.

This is what I had to think of,
dear Tehya and Paeton,
the years have flown by 
and you have grown into 
beautiful young adults.
We are so proud of you!
Sending love and hugs across the big wide ocean
that has not been able to separate the making of memories.
Happy 17th and 15th Birthday to you this week.

Love, Papa and Grammy

♡♡♡

The years seem to fly by even faster when we see how quickly our grandchildren are growing up. I love how you matched the pictures to the perfect song for this occasion!
