changing times

So, today is David's 19th birthday. He is officially a college student at BYU Idaho. We are officially empty-nesters. Weird. I know your kids are supposed to grow up and move on in life, and I'm supportive of that. It's just the 'empty' part of empty nest I don't like. David is having fun so far and is good about me stalking him. Luckily I have the other kids and grandkids near to bug. We had a great Christmas with all the kids around - except Derek who we have to get here soon! All of the kids are growing so much it's amazing. I think I'm officially old. But, these are great times. Experiencing the fruits of the parenting labors. And, when you see your grandkids and they are thrilled to see you it's great for your heart - and ego. So, fewer excuses regarding my lame blogging. Hopefully you will all see many more posts from me in 2010!
