Awhile ago, Jacob looked like this:
about a week old
Now he looks like this:
nearly 9 years
Every year around Jake’s birthday, I get a little freaked out by how much time has passed. I also sometimes can’t believe I have managed to get him to this point with no major terrifying incidents. (There’s still time, I know.)
Tomorrow Jake starts 4th grade. And then next week he turns 9.
Where is the time going?

In answer to your title, never fast enough to keep up with your kids. Just try to enjoy what each new year brings – there’s no slowing it down, unfortunately.
Congratulations on 4th grade! I’m glad he survives what appears to be his crucifixion when he was a week old.
