it's a bittersweet time
It's something we've been working toward for a little more than 18 years
From the first heartbeat,
it seems like a lifetime away
before you'll have to let them go
and then we blink our eyes and those toddler steps
lead to t-ball
growing pains
setting limits
there are times we just hold on,
praying through situations
celebrating the big and little moments and accomplishments
We spend 18 years learning to be a parent (we have a long way yet to go)
and then we must to learn be a friend
and finally letting go...
so they can realize their dreams and continue to follow God's leading in their adult life

These are great!! I think my favorite is the 2nd one ~ where was it taken??
Momma, I love that picture as well. i believe that is the old mill over by Market Place and Aldis. Awesome place! Only told me about it.
We also went downtown FS to the old Plunket Piano store close to Wheeler. Couldn't get the boy to smile at all and he has the best dimples!
I got numerous great pictures, so I'm having a hard time narrowing it down.
I love the pictures. You did an amazing job. Totally needed a tissue to look through them.
Great pictures of a handsome young man! I know you will miss them. My two oldest boys are in college 14 hrs. away .... The oldest graduates next year (Lord willing!)....more tissues...but then we would be crying a different sort of tears if they hung out around home for too long! Life goes on and IS still good!
Thank you for your comment and your prayers...that really blessed my heart!
He's grown up to be such a handsome young man!
