Well, my "baby" is 16! In some ways, it seems as if his birth was yesterday. On the other hand, so much water has gone under the bridge that it seems a lifetime ago.
We celebrated with pizza, cake & ice cream and about 40 friends and family. Andy's 1941 Farmall tractor is the love of his life right now and he had hoped to be able to hook it up to a neighbor's hay wagon to take anyone who wanted to go on a hayride. Unfortunately, the weather didn't see fit to cooperate and that plan had to be scrapped. His cake had a picture of him on his tractor and all his family and friends honored him with mostly gifts of cash to go towards his tractor restoration fund. So he was a happy "birthday boy" when he went to bed that night!
The next step is getting his driver's license. The car insurance comes up for renewal soon so we're waiting for that to add him to the policy - I'm still in shock from talking to the insurance man about how much our bill will increase!!!! My heart goes out to anyone who has multiple teenage drivers!
Oh well, life goes on! I'm still trying to figure out how to juggle all the "must do's" and fit in some of the "want to do's" like regular blog posts. Obviously, I haven't got a clue since I haven't posted in months. I'll keep working on it and post as often as I can to keep you up-to-date with what's going on in Shari's world...
