Don't Blink

Kenny Chesney knows what he's singin' about.
Don't blink
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did...
Don't blink
Life goes faster than you think.


This past weekend I felt like I was only a few blinks away from my own high school graduation 23 years ago. 
And even fewer blinks from sending my little four-year-old Amanda off to her first day of Kindergarten.
Don't blink. Life goes faster than you think.
Way too fast.
My graduation day - June 3, 1989

Oh my goodness, I'm practically bawling here. Tears, tears, tears. That Kindergarten Amanda was just yesterday and so was that baby!! (And I can't believe how YOUNG Erik looks in that picture!) I'm glad you're doing all this before me so that when I'm there in 10 years you can sympathize with me! :)

Wow, Julie. I feel like my life just flashed before my eyes. It's gonna happen to me, too, and I'll be just as freaked out by it as you are! Amanda's lovely -- it will be fun to have her here next year.

Sad, sad, sad!!! But we are so excited to have her close! I'm going to stop blinking.
