Reflections on having a 10 year old

I am not old enough to have a ten year old, but nonetheless my oldest child is now one decade old. It seems like yesterday I woke up in haze to my wife saying, "I think my water broke!" What a shock that was.

I think back over the changes of the last 10 years, and then I look ahead. My oldest will 20 in another 10 years. It seems like the last 10 years have been a blur. I can only imagine what the next 10 will be.

Enjoy the kids while you have them. Savor each stage of life. Don't rush things. Like Ferris Buehler said, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it."
