My Baby is 16 (well almost)
My baby (okay, the youngest of my baby's) will be 16 next week and we held his party today.It's time for me to go into one of those sentimental sappy modes again as I always do.
It is even harder when the youngest child reaches a milestone. Yes, I cried when the youngest started kindergarten because it meant that I no longer had preschoolers. A stage in my life was concluding and a new stage was beginning. It is as if I have to mourne a loss. I have lost a part of my life and can never go back to it.
One wise women once told me (and it stuck with me forever) to always remember that the next stage is always as good as the last. Each and every stage has something wonderful in it for us to look back at or look forward to.
One day next week, I will be entering a new stage. I can only wonder what is in future dreams.

Your son is adorable. HB to him. Thanks for the reminder on the changes as I have one gong to college in less than 5 months (I will be lost) and another taking his ACT's with one more year of HS. It goes fast. TY again for the reminder :) SIGH!
Happy Birthday to the Birthday Boy! Yes it sure does fly by quickly. But oh so many amazing milestones ahead :)
He is such a handsome and photogenic young man. I love that he plays a musical instrument. I notice that you keep your children involved. I did the same thing, and thankful I had no serious drug problems. (My youngest son was too vain to do anything that took away from his photo in his school marching band and concert band uniforms.) Whatever it takes. Love all your adorable photos and they just bring a happy smile to my face. Love to You and Yours.!
Happy belated birthday to your baby son. I choked up, but promised myself not to cry. My baby will turn twenty next week and I can totally related to your feelings. When Steve started kindergarten, I cried so hard and I knew that I was mourning a time that would never come again. My sister teased me and said that she threw a party when her youngest began school. I've had a really hard time and for a long time, I couldn't seem to find myself because my life felt so empty with grown children making their way in the world. Scrapbooking has really given me something positive to do with my time, photos, keepsakes and memories. Digital scrapbooking is great because it doesn't cost so much. Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving me a comment.
