Milestone Mania!

Who knew EVERY child in the family would hit a big milestone this month.......all within 5 days of each other!

Wednesday:  Chinese Kindergarten Graduation (the kung-fu moves were awesome)....















Thursday: High school graduation - Summa Cum Laude 
(I seriously couldn't be prouder if I tried!),













Friday:  6th grade graduation (next up - JUNIOR HIGH people!),




















Sunday: Boy #2  turning 16 - dating and driving (2 dates and counting...already).














It's funny.  I don't remember getting old enough to have all these things happen.  I still remember them when they were knee-high to a grasshopper.

All of a sudden son #1 will be leaving soon (77 more days to be exact.....) to serve a mission for our church.  So happy for him, and yet there's a part of me that's mourning the change in dynamic of our home.  Don't get me wrong - there's no where I'd rather him be.  Just realizing that it will be different around here. A friend said it profoundly that when your children leave home it's a "happy hurt".
So, for the next 77 days I'l be mentally recording every last minute I have with him.  And the others too.  It won't be long before it's their time to fly.
