Proof Positive that they grow up way too fast


The grandchildren in my family are spaced very well. Justin is the oldest at 23, then came Sam ten years later who is my sister's son and so he is 13 years old. Finally, came the dynamic duo of Katie Starr and Ethan who are ten years behind Sam at 3 years old.

My sister sent out this picture today to family and friends of her and Sam together with the following e-mail:

"Hi All - Thought you might enjoy a picture of Sam and me. It made me laugh that at 13 he is officially a head taller than I am. Oh well, glad he is gonna be tall. Hope all is well in your world. Jane"

OMG!!! Where is the time going folks!!! My little nephew, Sam is now taller than me and my sister. This is just not possible...is it?? Can't we stop the progression of time for just a bit so that it does not march by quite so quickly....

Now, on another note; I have to say he is just scrumptious isn't he? He is seriously so handsome and he is a good as the day is long...straight A student and a wonderful all around guy. He is coming to visit us at the end of this month for a few days all by himself and we totally cannot wait to see him. Katie asks everyday whether this is the day that Sam is coming. Now we want the time to hurry up...oh well, it is a woman's perogative to change her mind :-)
