            I'm going resist the temptation to say the obvious, like, "Where has the time gone?" or "They grow up so fast." 

           So I'll quote the beautiful Patti Griffin song and say - "Time keeps moving from a crawl to a run."

                                                    You should listen to it for yourself.

  While we're on the topic of life zipping by -
