~Senior Homecoming~
John David's senior year is flying by. I've done this drill before, and nothing has changed...I'm not ready. I do rest in the fact that I know this is a wonderful part of growing up and I am soaking up having him under our roof this last year! Lots of these boys have been friends since Read More >>
