P365 - 2016 - Day 172 - the moments
It's that time of year again.... school is ending, the kids have completed another year, and summer is around the corner. That means one thing. I am getting nostalgic. I am constantly shocked by how quickly time goes and how big the kids are getting. It's like I am surprised by this revelation each year. They grow. They age. Time passes. Tonight is the eve of The Boy's last day of 5th grade and I am slipping into a state of denial about the aforementioned facts (while doing a little happy dance at the fact that I am packing the last lunch of the year...that fact I welcome). As I sit here and reminisce about the days gone by I was flipping through old pictures to remind me what those little faces once looked like. When I came to this one, I knew it had to be the photo of the day. This was one of my favorites......6 years ago!! The kids were 7 and 5! How is it possible that this photo was taken 6 years ago? 2010? I still remember this moment like it happened yesterday. As I sit here thinking about the fact that The Bear and The Princess already finished 7th grade and The Boy finishes 5th grade tomorrow, I shudder to think how quickly the next 6 years may pass....and 6 years from now, when the kids are 19 and 17 will I be looking back at the photos I am taking now and thinking, once again, that time moves too fast? People tell you this before you have children and when they are babies... soak it in...it goes by so quickly... but until you are in it, it is so hard to believe. Tomorrow ends another school year and begins another summer. I will be soaking in the sun and the moments.
