It feels like we were just here, but the Royal Review has once again come and gone. This year they did a few things a bit different, one of which was a coed dance. Sam asked her friend since childhood to be her partner, and she had a lot of fun with this dance.
Miki and Jill had to be part of the action too. (there is an extra set of hands, and the belong to one of Jill's friends)
While watching this years review I had a sort of review of my own. Sam is just about done with half of her high school life, and it feels like it has just started.
As I watched Jill's little dance class perform their dance I couldn't help but remember when Sam was her age and how that doesn't feel like that long ago.
Time goes by way too fast! When my kids were all younger and people would tell me to enjoy them because they really do grow up too fast, I honestly didn't believe them. It felt like they were never going to grow up. Now I'm seeing the wisdom in their advice. Sam will be grown up and on her own before I know it, and her little sisters aren't too far behind.
I know that's the plan for life, and watching them learn and grow is definitely a joy. I just wish it were a little longer than the blink of an eye.
