My how the time flies

It seems like it was not THAT many years ago when I was but a tyke playing in the backyard dirt with toy soldiers and Tonka trucks and fighting the battle of the Alamo countless times (we always won in my version).

At it seems like only yesterday when I was standing on the sidelines coaching and cheering on the now proud papa

But the wheels of time do keep on churning and as Stevie Nicks sang, "time makes you bolder and even children get older and I'm getting older too".  Even so, I still try to look at the world in wonder as if through the eyes of a child.  The wonder never stops and neither does the growing and learning.
