Why I've been away....

I have been so touched by the emails I've received by many of you wondering if I was ok! I know, I have been away for awhile... I planned to take it easy after my mini madness challenge in April, but I didn't mean to be so absent from posting....

But I wanted to show you why I have been away so much!

Here are my boys, Mitch and Jake.... This is a picture from Jake's last day of school. Our school has a tradition called swingout... where their class speakers do a presentation, and other groups perform for them. Then, they head outside to say congrats and good bye to their friends. Then they take off for the Senior Mystery Trip.
How did they get this big... especially when it seems like yesterday they were like this!

We are planning for Jake to join the Marines.... here is one of his senior pics.....

What a man he has become..... from this beautiful little boy with big blue eyes!

Tomorrow is graduation day.... We have a special service for the seniors at church in the morning where we are doing a slideshow presentation of pics of them growing up set to the song 'Ready to Fly' by FFH. My goal is to not cry! (Yeah right! Like that will happen!) Thanks for letting me show my 'mom' side!
