What a wonderful post. My 2 older children are teenagers and my “baby” is 9. I miss them in their younger years… but I truly enjoy them (most of the time!) as they grow into young adults. I try to be sure I treasure the times we are all together. Simple times, but they mean so much.

Kelly,
You are right…I loved this! That picture is great, too. What a wonderful way to spend the day!

Kelly – your post today really touched me. I got really teary this weekend just thinking about my boy growing up. (He is 13 and on the cusp of young manhood) and I have to admit, I spend some time “grieving his future loss” when I think how fleeting these days are…sometimes that overshadows actually enjoying the days at hand. So, your post hit home.

Happy Monday.

We’re at the beach right now–I know when we get back that summer will be winding to a close. Such a bittersweet time of year for me, really…

I know what you mean about stopping to enjoy the special moments. Last night I played backyard golf with my grandsons, and I wanted the time to stand still. The boys take lessons, so they were teaching me how to stand and swing a club. We used a football for the hole. It was an amazing time. We laughed so much and made up the rules as we played.
