Does time just keep going faster?

I was looking at some of my past posts on this blog (which have been few and far between these days), and I can't help but marvel at how quickly the time has gone since Su was just a little older than Lucy is now. She seemed like such a big girl back then, and now I look at the old pics and think, "How tiny she was!" Meanwhile, Lucy is on the brink of walking, her vocalizing continues to get more complex (lots of "dada" and "mama" these days), and I know in another few years, I'll be thinking how tiny she was, and as always, wondering where the time has gone.

I know people used to say, "Enjoy your kids now...they grow up so fast." (They still do say it from time to time, I guess.) I think I used to assume they were exaggerating about how fast time went. But it really does. I'm not sure exactly where the past six years or so have gone. I can barely keep track of what year it is any more. I'm sure I will reflect on this over and over again on this blog. Looking back, I see that the vast majority of posts have been of the "wow, my girls have grown" variety, and I'm sure that will continue to be the case.

Meanwhile, here's another pic of me and my girls that I can look back on in a few years, and say again, "Were they ever really that small?!?"
