I have been so behind in blogging, like way behind. I didn't blog all of Colby's freshman year, his football or basketball season, and don't even get me started on what I haven't blogged about Taylor. It's overwhelming, so instead of doing something about it, I've avoided it. I have missed it. Blogging is good therapy for me, even if no one is reading it, my posterity will someday. That's good enough for me.
Taylor had his promotion from 8th grade Monday night. A very sad event for me. Last year when Colby promoted, I knew we would still have one more year at the Middle School with Taylor. Now it's done. Over. No looking back. Taylor loved his two years there and I think the highlight of Middle School for him was Mrs. Lewis, his P.E. teacher. They have been the very best of friends the last two years. Taylor teased her so bad at times I think she wanted to ring his neck, but she has survived. Taylor is such a great student! I hope he keeps in up in all the hectic-ness of high school. He wants to be very involved and that can be a help and a hinderance. He has decided to help coach the Pop Warner football team he has played on the last four years, so that will keep him very busy. He's great with younger kids so I know it will be a good experience for him.
It's hard for me to see that we now officially have a Freshman and a Sophomore. Only three more years with Colby and he will fly the nest. I want to clip his wings and keep him home. Both of them. Not forever but just for a little while longer. I want to rewind the clock and have them at the ages of 3 and 4 all over again. They have been a joy in my life and I like the busy-ness (for the most part, except for when the laundry piles up) that having kids at home brings.
Here are a few pictures of Taylor's big event. Yes, the bowtie was his idea, he has his own style. I just roll with it.
