Done and Done

How can it already be four years since he graduated high school?

And now he’s gone and graduated college. Done with school…

and officially a grown up.

We had such fun road-tripping to Dallas for the graduation.

And celebrating,
and visiting with Grandma,
and looking at old photos,

and laughing over queso at Mia’s,
and roaming the Target aisles just for fun,
and bemoaning the crazy Dallas traffic,

and staying up way too late,
and reminiscing over all the ways Zach has gone from a tow-headed, trouble-making whirlwind to a pretty-darn-cool grownup.

Congratulations, my biggest boy…

(the child who helped me realize how much I did not know about parenting with his danger-seeking, experience-driven toddlerhood.)

Can’t wait to see all you do to find your way in this big, wide world. I have no doubt you’re going to make it a much better place.

ways to make a difference

proceed with caution

a dirty secret in adoption
we don't celebrate gotcha day
there's no such thing as an easy adoption
if I can, you can.
co-sleeping, why we do it.
gawsh. the series.
crazy
affording adoption
God and me.
