But you never really realize how fast until there are milestones that are surpassed, or you have a moment of quiet reflection. It seems that we are so busy in the track meet that is our daily lives that we do not have the time to stop and quietly reflect on what is going on around us. One day we are putting our kids on the bus for the first day of kindergarten, and the next you are looking at the dorm they will be moving into during college orientation. Use your pool as the spot for family gatherings to make the memories because the opportunities will be gone before you know it.
