Where Does the Time Go? Celebrating My Daughter's 9th Birthday on Flag Day!

[lacychef]

My older daughter turns 9 today Where on Earth does the time go? I know some of you have kids much older...but man, it's so hard to believe how each year goes faster & faster.
(we've been joking all week with her, saying it's just Flag Day today...she doesn't think that's too funny though! She thinks everyone hangs their flag to celebrate her b-day!) So, Happy Flag Day to you all too!

Happy Birthday to your daughter, and happy flag day as well! We've got our flag flying high!

I was just thinking the same thing (how quickly they grow up)...we came home last night from dropping our oldest off at college For her graduation party we hung up picture collages. (They are still up...I can't bring myself to take them down yet!) One picture is a blown up pic of her at her 4th birthday party wearing pink cowboy boots, pink cowboy hat, and her Pink Power Ranger skirt and top! I keep staring at that poster and THAT is how I see her. It's hard to look at that picture and see the beautiful 18 year old Georgia Tech freshman we just left in Atlanta!!They grow up quickly so hug them while you can

:cry: OMGosh, I have been having this kind of a week too! DS just "graduated" from 5th grade and DD is going into 3rd grade! DD was only 6 months old when I started with PC! I feel like I just put DS on the bus to go to Kindergarten and here he is going into Middle School! He finally admitted to not believeing in the Tooth Fairy this past week....:cry: my guess is he will 'fess up to Santa soon enough!

I know what you mean! My DDs turned 6 and 3 this month and last and it about made me cry to think they were growing too fast and no longer babies. DDs kindergarten year FLEW by quicker than I ever could have imagined Time does fly by faster each and every year no Doubt! I hate that!

I am sooo with you!!! My oldest will be 7 in a month, I have been in MN almost 10 years and my 20th HS reunion is this summer!!! I can not believe I have been out of school for 20 years!!!

where does the time go?

My sweet little boy is now a sophmore in high school and not so sweet anymore. It seems like yesterday I just put him on the kindergarten bus and I remember ( and he does to) me following the bus to the school and I cried the entire way. DD and DS are 1 and 2 and that time has already flown by too, next thing you know I will be following their bus. Time sure does fly.
Happy birthday to your daughter

yesHoney, I know what you mean!!
My son turns nine on Tuesday.
We planned our vacation so that we will be in the Smoky Mountains on his birthday this year. We are all looking forward to it.

Now another problem with the kids getting older is that means I am getting older too. :cry:

 

[Chef Endora]

Happy Birthday to your sweet babies!

My youngest DD will be attending her 20 year reunion this summer.

In the blink of an eye they grow up and have families of their own. Eldest DD will be 40 in September.

Cherish your moments and make time for them. "They grow up so fast" is not just a cliche.

 

[Kitchen Diva]

You all need to give your kids huge hugs!!!! I can't wait for the day when I get to put my baby on a school bus. But right now I'm short in the baby department..

Enjoy your kids!

I've been sorta melancholy all week (okay some of it is most likely hormones too.) thinking that my baby turned 4 last Sunday.

He is my one and only. Being a Mom is the sweetest job (and most frustrating job!) I have - and one that I know is such a gift from God. The one job I never thought I would have, God gave to me. Every day, when Micah gets up, I think again of what a joy, thrill, and responsibility it is to be called Mom.

LOL - I told you I was melancholy!

[lacychef]

That's okay Becky; we all have those melancholy moments! (or days, or weeks, etc... )

 

[Kitchen2u]

Hope your daughter had a great day too!

Thanks Lacy (this is Robyn typing) ~ Mom showed me this...so sweet of you!

I had a INCREDIBLE day yesterday. Mom was asking me for 3 weeks..."what are we going to do about your BD...party, etc?" I ended up sleeping in (yeah!), Mom took me on a shopping spree and emptied her checkbook! (Not really, but close!) Made cookies with my best friends, hung out with them, went to the Monarches game (WNBA), then ended the day at my favorite~Tops Yogurt. Nice relaxing...OH! When my friends were over, the door bell rang. Opened it and there was a arrangement of roses an carnations, along with a squirrel (stuffed, LOL) and an "you're old" cane...no one there! I ran out to see who it was...no one around. When Mom came out...a car drove by, but we didn't know who it was. Found out it was from my ex-boyfriend...we broke up about 2-3 weeks ago on friendly terms. Mom laughed...I LOVE flowers...only got flowers one time ~ but got some now? What up with that? We got a GREAT laugh out of it...

:love: . . . Robyn
