Happy Halloween...or Fall Festival, If you Prefer

As I get older, I become increasingly aware of changes and developments that occur in children at different ages and stages.  It is wonderful to focus upon the children and grandchildren and to be able to watch them arrive at places where I have already been.

Those innocent stages pass so rapidly that I fear I will be soon deprived of the "babies" until they are grown and produce their own. It is a melancholy transition for me, but I am glad to have the journey.
