Where O Where Did Summer Go??

Today is our youngest son's first day of school, 6th grade to be exact. This is his last year of elementary school, next year he will go to Junior High School.

Tomorrow, our oldest son will start 9th Grade in High School.

Folks always tell you how fast it goes, how quickly your children grow up, and when it happens to you and your kids, it is like a blink of the eye. Didn't we just watch these children take their first steps and say their first words? And now, my oldest wants to join the High School Debate Team and my youngest is the Big Man On Campus.

Summer flew bye, childhood flies bye even faster. I keep hearing the song, "Sunrise, Sunset" from the musical, Fiddler On The Roof in my head.

Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze


Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears

Mazel Tov, our sons for a wonderful school year. (Now, go do your homework.)
