Kissing Time

Sometimes it is so hard for me to believe that my children have gotten to be so old....  Travis will be 20 this summer - 20!! Do you even realize that when I first started writing this blog that child was a mere 9??  It is crazy to me! Where did all of that time go?  Here I am thinking that my children will be young forever and now I am faced with the fact that my oldest child may never really come back "home" for any long period of time... with the degree he is seeking, he is likely to call big cities like Chicago or New York home! :(  It kills me to know this...

I remember when I first started blogging about my children that Jacob was only 3 years old - maybe 4?  He was so funny and always full of humor - partly why I started blogging in the first place! Now, this summer, that little boy is going to be 13 years old! How did that happen?

And to think - back then, he wanted to marry me.....

Last Thursday, I received a call from the Dean of Students at his school that he was caught kissing a female student behind the school!! What? It wasn't really a surprise to me as I had just caught him in the act the day before but, at the same time, what happened to my little boy? The one that didn't understand that I couldn't marry him?

hmmph...

Time.

Isn't it crazy how when we are young it seems like it takes forever to go anywhere but when we get older it goes so fast?

Sometimes.... I wish it would just "pause" - at least until I am ready for the next step...
