A baby holds your hands, and then suddenly, there’s this huge man lifting you off the ground, and then he’s gone. Where’s that son? — My Dinner With Andre

Like I said the other day, we took Little Bear to a college open house last weekend.  Girlie Bear is old enough now that she wants to get a job and learn how to drive.  We had a parent-teacher conference this morning for Boo.  Just yesterday, all of them were new, wrinkly, and pink.  Now, I’m staring having one child left at home in the face.

The years you get with your children are finite and they seem to pass quickly.  I just hope I take advantage of them while they last.
