Time Flies When You Have Children

As next week approaches, I sit back and think of how time has flown by for this mom. My son, Will will celebrate his 15th birthday on the 30th and my daughter, Sarah just celebrated her 21st birthday on the 16th. Wasn't it just yesterday my babies were just that babies?

And now here I am, a mom of a 15 year old and a 21 year old and I am thrilled to have such amazing kids, but bummed that I no longer have babies. They are all grown up, independent, smart, well-mannered (well to some extent-WILL!!) and just constantly amaze me everyday.

Will is an amazing musician with the trumpet, piano, piccolo trumpet and any other instrument he can get his hands on. He loves playing lacrosse, extreme frisbee and is an amazing actor in the drama class and performances at his High School. He is a funny character. I love talking with him, he is so smart and sometimes just floors me with his language skills.

Ready for the Winter Formal

Sarah is in her final year of college at GSU. She is majoring in Child and Family Development and minoring in theatre. Sarah recently became engaged to Kevin Zorn, who she met at GSU and has been dating for two years. Sarah is an awesome student who is on the President's list and not only does well in her classes, but she holds down an almost full-time job and participates in several plays on campus each semester. On top of all that, this semester, she has volunteer work to complete for her major.

So yes, my kids are grown, time has flown and I'm going to be all alone!!! Not really, I know my kids will always be there for their mom and I do still have Paul. And hopefully one day I'll have babies in my life again and I'll get to watch time fly by once again, but this time when time's get rough, I'll politely and with a smile, hand them over to their parents.
