My "baby" (DD) is turning 9 this week. My oldest (DS) will be 11 in August.

Where has all the time gone?! It seems like not too long ago they were wearing diapers and toddling. Wow, they grow up so quickly! Parenting can be so bitter sweet at times. Their milestones and accomplishments make DH and I so proud, yet it also makes us realize how their days here at home with us are numbered. Now I can totally understand why my Mom was bawling like a baby the day my parents dropped me off at college. At the time I was rolling my eyes at her. LOL!
