This past weekend, MVP and Mandy moved into their first apartment. MVP has been refinishing furniture and made his Dad's day with a "thanks for making sure I grew up handy" text and photos. I spoke with him Saturday morning and the agenda he laid out for his weekend was so ambitious that it was apparent he also inherited Mr. Fix-it's almost superhuman work ethic.
I have had occassion of late to say to a new mother, "You know how grandmas are always telling you how fast it goes? What they're saying is IT'S REALLY FAST! LIKE UNBELIEVABLY FAST!"
Parenthood . . . where the days are long, but the years are short.
Yes.
Mr. Fix-it and I decided on a trip to Fort Collins as our anniversary gift to one another (purchased on points because college tuition x 2) and are ending up making our visit over Mr. Fix-it's birthday weekend in mid-September. We can't wait!
Be sure to see what Karen's blast from the past is this week--and don't forget to visit Gary as well.
"Parenthood . . . where the days are long, but the years are short." AMEN.
Funny that we both chose to highlight our first-born sons this week.
PS: I think our husband's might share a birthday!

I know!!! The pictures, the artwork rendered with tiny hands, the saved clothing and carefully signed Mother's Day cards. It all seems joyous and heartbreaking now.
