  • Driving the Pacific Northwest

    8 days, three states, 1200 miles, billions of trees (probably.) Lots of pics ahead, including a lot of selfies of me with the boys, because they let me. We arrived Saturday evening, and our friends Chris and Stephanie (who are from Tacoma and have a condo there for when they’re visiting) picked us up and…

  • Eighteen and a half! It’s been a busy month, but the boys are definitely enjoying not being in any kind of school right now. As for myself, I go back and forth from trying to soak in having them at home and looking forward to not having to do constant laundry.

  • A week ago today, the boys graduated from high school. It’s hard to believe it’s over. Now we race to the first day of college in mid-August. Bleh. Saturday morning was the Baccalaureate Brunch at school, but it wasn’t really brunch so we went to Parkway for po-boys instead. And then the boys voted for…

  • How many times, I wonder, have I posted that picture from PreK-3 on this blog? At least 15 times, I’d guess. But today is the last time.** I got very teary last night (and alarmed Miles) when I said it was the last time I’d say goodnight before a school night. The last time I’d…

  • Last week of high school!

  • Huge relief to have these decisions made! Even though I would prefer the boys to be out of Louisiana, if they are going to stay in state, at least they’re not going to be too far from me. (Tulane is about a 20 minute drive but may as well be another world.) Miles will be…

  • I figure we have five more of these to do. Five! That’s it! Hopefully by the next one of these, we’ll have a better idea of where the boys will be going next year. We have some ideas, but nothing is set in stone yet.

  • 218 months! Exciting college stuff is happening. Oliver got a very generous scholarship from Tulane, enough that he may end up closer to home than previously expected. No firm news from any other schools for the other two. But things are moving along.

  • 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:

  • aka the last monthly picture as children. Some people have asked if I’ll stop when they turn 18. No, I will stop when I cannot take them anymore. I suppose next August will probably be the last one. šŸ™

  • I am very proud of taking this and posting it on the correct day! (ETA: well, apparently the narcotics haven’t completely worn off because I originally titled this 17 years + 2 months.) Especially since this was done mostly one handed. And with my left hand, no less! (Shoulder surgery was a week ago yesterday…

  • 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…
