The Baby Grew Up!


Tonight is Homecoming. Our 4th child, now the last one at home, turns 16 next week and tonight as we drove over to his date's house to meet up with the group for dinner and the dance, I realized this was the last time I'd drive him to homecoming. He'll get his license in a few more days and he will no longer need me for his transporation. And as we took pictures, looking beyond the little 2.5 inch screen on my digital camera, I saw my baby so grown up. There he stood, 6'4", looking handsome in his new black suit standing tall beside a lovely young lady. Where did the time go? He surely is not old enough for this!! The baby!! But I watched him in this moment of friends and mom's taking pictures, I was so proud. A fine young man he is turning out to be.

I didn't think about that, but yep he's that baby! He still seems too young to go on a date!

Hi I'm Charity's friend from OBU. As I read this today I teared up a little. My oldest is only 2, but I already feel like he's growing up so fast. Plus, the docs say he'll be 6' 2" or more, and I just can't imagine!
