Daniel goofing on the Mouse's dirtbike
Things happen so fast. Between 7:00 and 7:30 this morning, all 3 of my boys were gone. Daniel embarked on his journey through 4 states to get back to college, Matthew was picked up by his carpool to go to junior high, and Davy left for his very first day of college here locally. After the whirlwind, I kind of felt myself standing there hearing only the ticking of the clock. Poignant.
Daniel's entire life packed up and ready to go
taking off - we had an awesome visit, but we could tell it was time
Davy the musician - writing the greatest songs ever
Davy the fabulous head of hair (he's gonna kill me for that)
Davy leaving for his very first day of college :)
So sorry Megan! Hard to have them all leave at once. They are off doing great things for themselves though, that step is always hard for a mother. I am not looking forward to that time in my life. :)
ReplyDeleteOh gosh... the end of summer and brand new beginnings for your sweet boys. Bittersweet to be sure. Get yourself a big bag of Ruffles and wash it down with a Diet Coke and then savor the quiet. Read some magazines and do all the "girl things" you've been wanting to do amongst the chaos of the past few months. Reminisce and reflect about the wonderful summer you had with all three of your handsome guys in the house at the same time and then just listen to the quiet.... ahhhhhh. Love, Kim
ReplyDeleteI love a quiet house. It makes me appreciate the mostly joyful noise that accompanies their presence. Enjoy this time. New things are on the horizon for you, too. :-)
ReplyDeleteI hope your week has gone well and you've been able to savor some time to yourself! You have some great boys and I'm sure it is heartwarming, yet a little bittersweet, to see them going forward in life. (And, yes, Davy has a great head of hair!) :o)
