I haven't fallen off the planet. PROMISE! I am, however, a little busy at home. Our firstborn leaves for college Thursday... and we're getting ready.

| Nathan and Ben hamming it up together on vacation. |
Even when I asked what he wants for dinner these last three nights, he's considerate. I know his favorites: tamale casserole (all the flavor of a tamale without the frustrating prep), chicken-sausage gumbo, and Greek. But he's staying true to himself, "...if you have time, Mom."

| And now, hamming it up with his roommate to be. |
Love,

Great blog- Time flies heartbreakingly fast. I look at pictures of my kids and wonder when they grew up- didn't I have my eyes on them all the whole time? It is a blessing, though, to add 'friendship' to the relationships we have with our kids, as they mature- to be able to move from a parent/child role to one of equals. It's a new relationship!
Christian packed up a u-haul and moved with a long-time friend/new roommate (at a new school)- didn't need my help at all. We got Emily into her dorm for her freshman year and she was all smiles.Not a shimmer of potential homesickness in her eyes. I've been moping around all day.
However, I can see that they will be strong, autonomous adults. They are firm in their faith. They have character that I'm proud of. Ultimately, isn't that our goal, as parents?
So, I may be sad and I may miss them, but I am so happy that they are growing up WELL.
