That first shot is beautiful! Slipping away... Life seems to do that more an more the older I get. The scary part is the part left in front of me is a lot shorter than the part I've already lived!

Funny how school girls are, I don't miss being that age at all. Twenty-five I really miss! That phase your daughter is in will pass, kids all go through it. Girls more than boys. It's odd how they start to grow so independent when they used to depend on you for everything. Enjoy it while it lasts! At least you have a little one to hang onto those moments a little longer!

Great poems as always, I hope you have a great weekend with your family!
