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!
Like always I love your captured moments.. just remember that you don't stop being mom when they graduate.. things do change, but a lot of the change is good and your love only grows stronger.. -Randi
