Growing up and Growing Old

Growing up and Growing old. Pretty simple i suppose I continue to grow up with my children but oddly i also seem to get older with them and as i get older i like to look back at what brought me here, in this case i only look back 4 years, we recently celebrated madison and lukas birthdays, im pretty sure my life changed that moment, i did not recognize it then because i was to busy crying and taking pictures of everything in our room to my wifes delight but my world shrunk into my hands in the form a naked baby girl. I was 23 and really had no clue what i was doing, i treated this baby like a highschool assignment and winged it, except my mom couldnt write poems for writing class this time. 4 years have passed and i cant remember a better four years, i had a son in those 4 years, i celebrated 5 years with Angelika. I could write down pages of memories over these years but i suppose reminiscing is not something you do while writing. i think the point i was getting to was that i love being a father, and all the awesome first memories of being that kind of got in the way. In 2 weeks december starts, in 6 weeks it is christmas and in 9 weeks another baby joins our household so we will continue to Grow up and grow old.
