We have had alot go on in our home the last few weeks. Drew turned 12 and passed the Sacrament for the first time 2 weeks ago, (he was nervous, but did a great job). I cried of course, thinking that he was just born, the little boy with jaudice, sleeping in a weird suitcase light-up thing in our hallway on Little Creek Drive!!! He is now nearly as tall as me and our hands are practically the same size. How time flies and I don't think any of us realize how fast. He is an awesome son.
Morgan also had some big news this last week, she went on a first date!! I know her birthday isn't for another month, but we decided to let her go to a dance at the school. It was girls choice and she asked a boy named "Mikey" - he is a cute kid and seems nice. She doubled with her friend Kirstyn and her date Robert aka "Freddie". It was fun for me too. I helped her ask him with a pint of ice cream from Baskin Robbins (of course) with a note saying "it would sure be sweet if you went to the dance with me" - He answered with cupcakes saying "no matter how you say it the answer is yes" - he had made cupcakes with yes in different languages written on all of them.
So, I guess what I have learned as of late, is no matter how big my kids get, I am enjoying the stages that they are in. It is fun to see them grow and have life experiences, bitter sweet as it may be, it is what happens. I am so thankful for the kids that I have been blessed with, they are the light of my life.
