Congrats on a job well done, both son and mother. We did it! I remember when our son was in track. I loved to go to the meets. I remember the one time he came in second in the Junior Olympics, 1978 - he was in the 8th grade. Then he went on to high school - no more track - the wrestling bug got him, so he wrestled varsity for four years. Went on to the University of Minnesota and graduated in 1984. Time goes so fast. I can still see him jumping the hurdles - he flew! And now he has a little farm, a full time job, 7 goats, 1 donkey, a slew of chickens, five cats (three being "Farm Cats"), three dogs, three kids and a wonderful wife. Our children --- they are the lights of our life, aren't they? Edie

What a great job he did, and then off to college, what an exciting time in his life, and yours!

I would love to post some pictures of him, but I had a disk full of wresting pictures, awards, etc. and prom and somehow it corrupted and I lost everything!!! :cry: :cry: :cry: I'm absolutely scared to death to remove that disk and take the chance of losing everything again. Have to wait for him to come home this evening and copy and transfer some videos for the Athletic Director for the sports ceremony. Then maybe I'll get the nerve once everything is loaded on here.

I think this is the reason I haven't been actually do any quilting lately only figuring out what I wanted to do, buying the fabric and just getting everything together in its separate bins ready and raring to go. I know once its over I'm going to really have to keep myself busy. Being in this program the 1st 6wks he's only allowed to call home for 5min. on Sunday. Its either I'm going to lose my mind or become the biggest stalker the schools ever seen. :lol: :lol:

Can you try an picture this wide load hiding in the bushes with her binoculars trying to get a glimpse of him!! :shock: OMG!!! :lol: :lol: I really hope that this summer just plain draggggggs on!

Congrats. My three all have their own homes and children. I missed them to in college. They all hung around so long I thought they would never leave.LOL. Now they visit often too and bring my GKs to visit. It's almost like when tehy atartde Kindergarden-remember watching them go to school alone? Heavy tears. My kids will always be my babies.

Boy oh boy, you got that right!!! I still can picture him putting his dirty little hands all over the front of the clean dishwasher at about 1 1/2yrs old. Where in the HELL did time go?

I guess I'm just a sap.

Congrats to your son and to you for a job well done.

Like Edie said- they will always be our babies. Mine has a daughter of his own now, but he (and his older sister too) will always be my 'babies'. :thumbup:
