Ask me how much I love...

...that it wasn't until day four of middle school and a substantial amount of time spent together at the mall that I finally learned how L~ was doing in her new school. And then only because the lovely phread asked her. Then and only then I learned she had been a little nervous about it all but that fortunately it was turning out better than she expected.

Maybe it is about time.

...that my tall lanky 16-year-old still needs me. To kill big spiders for him.

...that all on his own my oldest registered himself and spent every evening during the entire week of his senior year of high school over at Education Week..

...that even as my older kids are (mostly) growing up, my "baby" still loves to cuddle.

...that big brother took little sister with him on his date. His date has a little sister too. So all four of them have been gone all afternoon and evening seeing movies (and I do hope eating some dinner somewhere). Isn't that sweet?
