You're Gonna Miss This Moment

Jump on over to Pam's blog if you'd like to play along.

This week it was pretty easy for me to think of something I am going to miss. It's Nick. I'm going to miss hanging out, him just being around the house and how helpful he can be (like in this photo where he's helping carry plants from the greenhouse). He's a good friend, a good son, a good brother...I really, truly enjoy our time together. Is he moving out? Going away? No, but now he's got a driver's license and a car and I'm sure he'll spend less time hanging out with mom and more time hanging out with his friends. Like he's doing right now. *Sigh*.

Aww! Gosh, I don't want to think about 16. I'm having a hard enough time w/ my boy starting kindergarten!

Oh ya Mama! I hope time goes by very slow for me, so that point takes forever. Wow- a drivers license, that is a big milestone. What a great moment you wrote about.

They grow up way too fast, don't they? It's good to see our kids independent, but we can't help but miss them, can we?
