Thanks everyone! I do not feel almost 50, but the numbers do not lie. The Lord is correct when he says that our life is like a vapor in time.
I did become a Grandpa on Saturday. I just got back this morning from Enumclaw WA (Kahne's hometown) after seeing her. She is a moose, weighing in at 8 LB's 13 oz.
I have a 2 and a 7 year old. This Grandpa thing makes me feel old. The young kids make me feel young. I guess it all balances out. The bottom line is, we are all getting old fast!
Thanks to all of you for your posts. Merry Christmas to all!
