Happy Birthday Ryan!

I can hardly believe that today my first born is 23 years old! I hope you have a most Happy Birthday Ryan--and you should let your professors know it's your birthday--maybe they will go easy on you!



This is a picture that was taken a year or so ago with some of his friends when they got together to have one of their LAN parties. My son Ryan is the one they are holding up, and Ryan is holding my youngest, Miss Scarlett.

How quickly the time goes...I can remember him going off to his first day of kindegarten with his little backpack and now he's starting his first year of law school. Sigh.

Just so everyone knows, you probably won't be hearing much from me over the next couple of days as we will be bringing my daughter to college today! Now I will officially have an empty nest, which I do admit I am a little nervous about. I am very proud of both of my kids--I've always known that after we raise them up we have to let them go, but does it have to be so hard? I know it will get easier with time, especially after watching them grow into courteous and responsible adults.
