Where are the day's going?

There are days I have to just stop and catch my breath. Slumped on the floor listening to Z practice his reading, In the kitchen making dinner listening to them play or even bicker, racing through their school's hallway 3 days a week helping out the teachers or earphones placed in my ears listening to music as I run and daydream away.

Then suddenly I'm told, today isn't Monday it's Wednesday.
NO! Tomorrow is Saturday!
Where are my days going?
Why do they insist on going by so fast?
Worst part of it all.... is my boys.

When did they go from this.........
(Checking out the backyard when we bought the house.)




To this!
(This past Sunday, E drew a family portrait and they posed for me.)




Days go by way to fast, I try not to take these days for granted.
Why?
One day you put your babies to bed and they wake up school age kids, then college students, then they are dropping off the grandkids.
OH! I need a drink!

Wow Ethan looks so much older in that pic. Where did they get those jerseys? Too cute.

One from the Cowboy's store and one from Kohls I think.
It was one of their Christmas presents last year.

Hate to say it Liza but time seems to go faster the older you get, at least for me. Maybe it will slow down again when I'm retired and it will be like the summers were when I was in school, nothing to do and time could just drag...I can only hope. You've got your priorities right, I wish I had been a more attentive father to my boys, that's for sure.

You were an attentive father. That's why Nick makes time for our boys, he had a wonderful role model to follow after :).
