My oldest child is now officially an adult. He can vote, and plans to next week when early voting starts. He’s finished college applications and has been accepted to his top choice (Kansas University). In the spring, he’ll be getting his first job to save money for college. It’s crazy to think he’s been in our lives now for 18 years. It just doesn’t feel that long. Welcome to the world of adulthood, oldest child of mine.

Rock ’em, shock ’em! Congrats to Morrigan and to you and your husband (though I can imagine it is bittersweet in some ways).

Yay for Morrigan! I’m so happy to hear he’s ready to vote; so many don’t care about voting at all.
