18 years + 1 month

No, I didn’t stop taking monthly pics when they became adults. Perish the thought! (But realistically, August will probably be the last one. Sob.) We went on a little adventure to City Park and the sculpture garden, which is why this month’s pic looks a little different. Thought it would be a waste not to…

2025 in review

It was a year of highs and lows, but never have I been so ready for a year to be over. (I’m not even going to touch politics or the state of our country but if you know me at all, you know which of the two that falls under.) January The year started by…

Adults!

Today, the boys are 18. EIGHTEEN. We went to our usual dinner at Texas Roadhouse last night (they’re supposed to have a game tonight, but the weather is pretty yucky so we’ll see) and they got shoes and socks as their gifts. Yes boys, adulthood is boring. And the 17 birthdays prior to this one:

Especially since this was done mostly one handed. And with my left hand, no less! (Shoulder surgery was a week ago yesterday…

17 years, 9 months

I don’t even know what to say here. They’re almost 18. Adults. It’s going to be a weird month. I’m having shoulder surgery in a couple of weeks. How am I going to be able to take the picture one handed? I’ll have to use my phone, I guess. Even that will be hard. The…

The last first day of school

Well, at least that I’ll be there to take pictures of. Maybe the last one they’ll all be together? Who knows! Unfortunately, I didn’t get a great picture because they had to be at school at 6am for Senior Sunrise, and since obviously the sun wasn’t up yet when they left the house, I had…
