Now for a taste of things to come

My Boy turns 1 today.

One year.
Where did the time go?
Is this going to be what its like when...
I seem him drive alone for the first time?
tells me about this girl...
heads off to college... or the military...
calls me to tell me that his wife is pregnant...

where does the time go?
why are there so many good and wonderful memories that seem a ripple in the river of time...

why cant I slow it down and savor each one...

  1. I know exactly how you feel... As I watch him on the floor, playing with new toys and "singing" to himself, I remember bringing him home and singing to him. I recall how "O Holy Night" and "Silent Night" were the go-to songs for sleepy time with our little man. Now, this year, I will be teaching him those songs to sing.

    Too fast...

    And a year before him, we decorated our first tree together.

    Too fast...
