You have about 1,000 weekends with your kids before they are legally adults. My children are mostly grown up now (18 and 14) and, despite the sleepless nights, I miss having them fall asleep in my arms and their absolute wonder of the world as infants and toddlers.

It's all over far too soon. Make the most of it!

Thanks for this. I really like that 1,000 weekends number - it's a clear, concrete reminder of the finite time I get with my kids.
