It's almost here...

Okay, so today we are going to take group senior pictures with the homeschool group in their caps and gowns.

Sigh.

I know that this day was coming and it's a good thing but there was something sort of ...smack-you-in-the-face-with-reality feel to it all when Nick came out of his room in his cap and gown. Suddenly, he looked so grown up. He looked about a foot taller and I felt kind of old. He was wearing a pair of Frank's dress pants and shoes and it made me think about how he'd put on Frank's work boots when he was maybe 2 years old or how he'd wear Frank's work hat.

Sigh.

I know that this is a good thing and this is all a part of life but there was a little part of me today that wanted to hold that 2 year old again.
