Growing up . . .

DS (9) left for camp yesterday. This is his first time to be away from home this long. It's so hard to believe he's old enough to do such a thing. I, being the good Mom that I am ;-), almost burst into tears when I walked away. Luckily for me I was walking away into the church office to go to work and all heck broke loose the second I got to my desk. So I didn't have time to burst into tears!

I'm really excited for him. I know he's having fun and I know he'll come home on Friday more mature than he left here. It's good for kids to have some time away from their parents. It's hard to grow up when Mom is around stopping you from doing things you need to do to grow up.

DD is so lost with him gone. She doesn't know how to be an only child! LOL!

7 days until Vegas. 17 days until New York. 35 days until school starts. (I'm subtracting a day since today is pretty much over. ;-) )
