He's growing up.

Last week we started our last year of preschool. I know you may say, it's just preschool, and didn't you start him when he was barely three, you should be ready for this. But I'm not, because the reality is once the big kindergarten, starts, it's over. I remember kindergarten, it doesn't seem that long ago. Well ok it was, but it has gone all too quickly.

So as I try to grab a hold of the last year before it all starts...I am appreciating every moment. I appreciated that I have been able to give to our families income and still stay at home to enjoy his growing up. I am thankful that my friend Becky Kroeze said when Drew was a week old, "they're only little once."

Drew's first soccer game was two weeks ago and that too has made me aware that he is a boy, the toddler is long gone. I was reading a book last night about raising boys and cried through the whole thing. I know I'm being sappy but it's a bridge that I have to cross to get to the other side.
I look forward to the fun that is ahead and cheering him on from the sidelines. It's an awesome job that God has given me to raise two future men and I am going to enjoy every step.
