One of my favorite things...

When Derek and I were first married and the boys were young, we attended Hume Lake Police Couples Conference every year.  Since both of our birthdays are in February and the Conference was always in March, it was a yearly birthday gift to us from my parents.  It was great...we had the weekend away and the boys enjoyed the weekend with my parents!  Those were some wonderful years, I think it was a 6 year tradition!  Then as the boys got older and more involved with school and sports, our weekends away diminished...boo!  Oh well, such is life!  :)  Anyway, back to my story and the real meaning of this post...

Hume Lake has a great bookstore/gift shop and during one visit we purchased two picture mattes to document the boys' years in school.  Every year I loved putting in the new school pictures and seeing their maturity.  Well, yesterday, it finally hit me.  One of my favorite things had come to an end.  Yesterday, I placed Dalton's senior picture in his frame to complete it.  I must admit...I got a little choked up.  I think it is harder with Dalton since he is the "baby" of the family.  He's it.

But then I change gears and stop looking back and look forward because there is SO MUCH to look forward to!  Dalton starts college (summer school) next Monday, folks!!

Enjoy one of my favorite things...

Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well."
