Eleven

Happy Birthday to my baby.  Madeline will be 11 tomorrow (8/27).  She's a great kid and growing up way too fast.  I should have taken my father-in-law's advice years ago and kept her in a drawer so she wouldn't grow.

Parenting is 10% making actual decisions and 90% second guessing and agonizing over your decisions.  None of us are perfect at it.  It's a continuous, painful struggle.  I'm sure that people without children age much slower than those with children.  I wouldn't change it though.  They're worth every grey hair and every tear.

Peace-
Matt
