Today our youngest daughter turned 6 months old. It's unbelievable how quickly the time goes by. [I'm sure that many of you further down the path of parenthood can attest to that truth even more than I can imagine.] Everyone gives advice about how we should cherish each day - and we do - but cherishing in no way slows down how quickly it passes.
In a related issue, our oldest daughters are almost three and yesterday Jen wanted to say something to me about them in front of them and she said, "We'll have to talk about that a little later." It was weird for me to hear that because of what it signified. What she said was true and the girls do understand conversations that are held in their presence. It was timely in that it was another reminder that our girls are growing up very quickly.
I'm not wanting to delay the maturity of our girls or always keep them young...that would selfishly unfair of me. I'm wanting to see them develop into the young women that God already knows. I just want to be able to appreciate as much as I can along the way. Six months ago seems just like yesterday.
