Today...

This boy turned 12. He will be ordained a Deacon on Sunday, and will be able to pass the Sacrament. He will be in our seven stake Dance Festival in June doing the "Deacon Dance". He is in the 6th grade, gets great grades, has lots of fun, and is a joy (most of the time!) to have in our family! We love you Luke and love watching you grow up into this beautiful, sweet, smart, helping boy.

I attended Incoming Freshman Orientation for this boy. Oh my gosh! He will be a freshman in the Fall (and I am FREAKING out! Not so much that he will be in high school... but more that he will graduate in 4 years and then be on his own - sort of!!!) We love you Chad, and are proud of the great person you are turning into! Continue to excel in school... and really do try those AP classes... you can do it! We have all the faith in the world in you!!!

Next year, we will have one child in high school, one in middle school, two in elementary and one in PreSchool! Oh my goodness!!!

This boy was registered for PreSchool. This year, he attends a two-year-old class, one day a week, and next Fall he will be starting a three-year-old class, going two days a week. I might almost get some chances to breathe a little bit.

It was a milestone of a day for us.
