Just like that, it's over. Transitions when you have kids are never gradual. One day they are little; the next they are big.
They graduate, they move up, they move on.
I have not been looking forward to the end of the eighth and final season for the Palominos, my daughter's soccer team. It's been a tight-knit group of girls, who after seven losing seasons, are closing out the team's short history with a winning season.
We already know that part, we just don't know whether they also will go out with a bang...a final win.
Their head coach made practice fun tonight. At the end, everyone, including him, got a team jacket as a souvenir of their wonderful team's year together.
He liked his -- first time he's ever had anything to wear that says "coach."
Tomorrow, 10 a.m. The Palos' final game at Beach Chalet. Then all of this moves into the stuff of memory.
So it goes.

The game must still be ongoing- I'm cheering from here- hoping it goes well. Whatever the outcome, they will go out with a triumphant bang because they have shown great team spirit!!!!
