The days are long, but the years are short.

December 30, 2013 By Marta Darby Leave a Comment

Today in our home, we've hit a milestone. There are no longer any children here.

Jonathan, my youngest is 18 years old and officially an adult.

I'm so grateful that because I've been blogging for the past 7 years our lives are pretty well documented.

I know everyone has a shoebox or ten full of photos. And I am actually pretty diligent about getting those photos into scrapbooks and telling our stories. Because the time really does go by in the blink of an eye.

Here are my blog posts on December 30th for the past 7 years with their corresponding photos. Can it be possible that so much change has happened right under my very nose?

Also, where did the time go??

December 30th, 2006. Wise Guys.
