Nature

Flashback to 18 years ago...I'm a few weeks shy of having my first baby (my Kyle).  Mike and I did yard work all day, including planting bushes and flowers.  And I mean, all day!  Flash forward to today...I'm a few weeks shy of witnessing my first baby graduating from high school.  My yard work today looked something like this: I took a nap after going to the nursery to pick out some flowers. After about 10 minutes of weeding and planting, I go in and drag Mike and Zack off the couch to help me.  After planting about 30 flowers, we're done for the day!  And I know there will probably be Motrin in our near future!

Everything these days circles back to Kyle for me, and I know this is the natural course life takes, but gosh it's really difficult to grasp the fact Kyle is not just "growing up" but has grown up.

A weed and a flower...I think they're both beautiful!
