13 years?!? Can't be. How?

[Moonie]

well I have 8, 15 to 30, 5 girls and 3 boys. Girls are most certainly harder than boys.. My girls are 15, 17, 18, 29 and 30...

Thanks for reminding me ........ My oldest granddaughter came to live with me 8 yr ago at Christmas coming . She's 10 now , I've barely got a head and shoulders on her . I ordered​ her a 223 LH Savage yesterday​ and a standard for her little sister who's 8 . In October I'll be marring off my oldest daughter . Seems like just a week or so ago she got outta HS she turned 30 in January which means her older brother is 32 next week .

Where does it go indeed ?

I've been told that when you have a teenage son, you have to worry about one boy. When you have a teenage daughter, you have to worry about all the boys.

[Harter66]

Right up until the first boy comes to the door ,
" Hello sir , I'm Alex . It is a pleasure to meet you . Melisa will be he home by 10 . I've been versed on the 45 and the shovel and how that works ."
Then you know you've done all right and it's going to be ok .

Well, my one and only turned 26 first of last month. Time does fly, enjoy the moments and work hard to have plenty! Life is short!

My wife when she was alive made it even easier when the young gentleman started coming over. She made a display of my medals and plauqes from shooting NRA high power right by the front door. "Yes Son that's a gold medal for placing in the 1000yd iron sight matches at the Bob Wright state match." LOL.

Yesterday was our 10yr Anniversary. We kinda looked at each other with a "really, how did that happen"? look. An ex-girlfriend of mines daughter whom I remember taking to grade school turned 30. Jeez, time does fly and doesn't seem possible.

It was a 3 date wonder in HS . I'm marrying her off to a Marine the 1st week in October just 5 months short of her 31st Birthday .

[Blackwater]

Well, my son's now 45 and .... it really seems like just yesterday that he finally became a teenager! So keep them close, spend as much time with them as you can, doing good, beneficial things that keep their minds active and their spirits and confidence up, and .... tomorrow, you'll find they're grown and giving you grandkids! It's amazing how swiftly time passes, and most especially with our children. What a true miracle they are!

[Thin Man]

Very nice summary, and congratulations to both of you. Also, thanks for the "heads up" on what to expect. Any day now our youngest daughter will deliver our first grandson to us. We already have a granddaughter by our oldest daughter but there will be no more from her. She titled her only delivery "one and DONE."

[Biggin]

Happy birthday to your daughter, sorry I'm late got 2 of them myself 17and 14.
