Love the trench ~ great color! Pics looked like you and your son had fun! :) I would love to go back
Awww Bonnie, he’s 8 already? It’s the beginning of the end. NOT…now you’re getting to the meat in the middle. You won’t have time to worry about where the time has gone for at least 10 years…then you are gonna stop to breath for a second, realize he’s 18, and start ballin’ your head off. But, that gets better (and more fun) too. Enjoy, go with it…we can do nothing more than we do.

Thanks Rhonda…last night, we were having a conversation about girlfriends!! All I could do was grip the steering wheel and look straight ahead while driving! Yes, he’s 8 – and such an interesting little person, and I love his sense of humor and just who he is. I can totally see what you mean about the meat in the middle!! xoxo
Sure you are! It’ll be just fine..
thanks
He is so cute. And looks so grown up! I miss my boys being little….BUT I am so glad they are grown!
Love every 2nd, friend. ♥
yes, every second…and so grown up. Tonight we talked about girlfriends. The kid is EIGHT. Wha…????
oh my……hang on for the ride, friend …

I know, right?! too fast…got to put the brakes on that subject! Can’t we just play with legos and truck for a bit longer!!?
my secret….I still have the legos in the top of my closet….♥
Excellent!!! ♥
I just love that the “new” shoes on the first day of school now are the same ones as when I was that age. Yay Vans!
Aren’t they the best! And they last [probably longer than he'll be in that size!]. Yay Vans!
Enjoy the experience through their eyes.
That’s exactly what I am trying to do – I don’t want to stop time, I love each part, I just want to click into slo-mo some days! Thanks for stopping by
LIKE it!
Thanks David!
Aw, so sweet! I’m sure you’ll both be fine. (More than fine!)
Thanks so much…first day down and all is well. The funny part – no homework for him, but there is for me. We have to cover the textbooks with bookcovers – do you rememer doing this with the brown sacks from the grocery store! too funny- I feel 12 again!
