That point in life seems so far away for us. While I am looking forward to seeing the kids grow up, I guess we need to learn enjoy what we have right now. It just seems to slip by so quickly... Happy b-day to D! Sounds like you had a good one. Wow! That point in life seems so far away for us.

And so much different than just six months ago. I can't believe we have just six short years left until he's 18. I want to slow down. I want to go back and relive, redo those infant, toddler, preschool years. I know that older mothers told me, "The years go by so quickly. . ." and I believed them. . . but I didn't really *understand*. And now they are gone. I feel like time is going by so much more quickly than I can handle. I don't want to be wasting time. (And yet I am. . . too often. . .) Your boys give me such hope for mine. . . And getting glimpses of where they are, further down life's path, keeps me grounded where we are now. *tears*

Early this morning I was talking with my oldest (only 12) and he was looking so old, so grown. . . And so much different than just six months ago. I can’t believe we have just six short years left until he’s 18. I want to slow down. I want to go back and relive, redo those infant, toddler, preschool years. I know that older mothers told me, “The years go by so quickly. . .” and I believed them. . . but I didn’t really *understand*. And now they are gone.

Your boys give me such hope for mine. . . And getting glimpses of where they are, further down life’s path, keeps me grounded where we are now.

Hard to believe he's 18. I wonder if young children and older children all change so rapidly. It's very obvious with babies and little tykes, perhaps the changes become more subtle with age. (I might hold on to this theory, it encourages me that I too might be maturing!) Happy b-day to D! Hard to believe he’s 18. I wonder if young children and older children all change so rapidly.
