The end: 18 years, 8 months

The last of 224 monthly photos.

18 years, 7 months

The penultimate monthly picture.

Driving the Pacific Northwest

8 days, three states, 1200 miles, billions of trees (probably.) Lots of pics ahead, including a lot of selfies of me with the boys, because they let me. We arrived Saturday evening, and our friends Chris and Stephanie (who are from Tacoma and have a condo there for when they’re visiting) picked us up and […]

18 and a half

Eighteen and a half! It’s been a busy month, but the boys are definitely enjoying not being in any kind of school right now. As for myself, I go back and forth from trying to soak in having them at home and looking forward to not having to do constant laundry.

Graduated!

A week ago today, the boys graduated from high school. It’s hard to believe it’s over. Now we race to the first day of college in mid-August. Bleh.

18 years + 3 months

I figure we have five more of these to do. Five! That’s it! Hopefully by the next one of these, we’ll have a better idea of where the boys will be going next year. We have some ideas, but nothing is set in stone yet.

18 years + 2 months

218 months! Exciting college stuff is happening. Oliver got a very generous scholarship from Tulane, enough that he may end up closer to home than previously expected. No firm news from any other schools for the other two. But things are moving along.
