Running out of Time
Yesterday I attended Addison’s first dance recital. After it was over my mother-in-law Nancy took this picture.
Now I realize she looks more grown up than normal because of the makeup they make you put on them, but the point for me is that my little girl is growing up.
Think about it this way.
She’s 5 now. She’ll potentially leave our home at 18. That means she’s almost already spend 1/3 of her time at home with us.
My wife and I have been married for 8 years. Seems like yesterday to us. In 8 years Addison will be 13. I’ve heard that any where between 12 – 14 years old parents start to lose their influence with their teenagers.
So I feel as if we are running out of time with her. Even though she’s still a child. Time sure does fly and the next thing I know – we’ll be empty nesters.
So today will count.
