In some places I'm quite sure that time is just a little bit elastic, you know?

Gostwyck, up near Armidale, where we spent Easter with Ad's folks. 

Do you have a place like that? 

I only wish I could say the same for the smallies.

I know it's a cliche,

and indulgent,

but far out, I feel like time sometimes evaporates and all of a sudden she's four,

he's nearly seven,

and she's ten months old.

KERBANG.

(That was the sound of my heart stopping.)

I love them like this. I adore them right now. I'm excited about all the newness and the growing up business but I just want to freeze frame this moment, those freckles, that grin, those pudgy cheeks.

…

OK. I can move on now.

You? Got a place or a moment or a person you want to freeze?
