This is from Christmas Eve, And darn it if I couldnt get a single picture of Sam with his eyes OPEN! the flash made him close them, I have about 20 of them, finally the last one he was sitting on the floor, sick of this nonsense. He was happy to pose next to his plate of Cookies for Santa, He loved his new CAR pajamas, and he couldnt wait to get to sleep so Santa could come. Christmas AM he was very happy that Santa came, and he was thrilled with all the goodies and the NOTE that Santa left for him. His favorite toy was the Play moblie Pirate Ship that he got, ( he thought Santa got it for him, but I set him straight that the old fat man doesnt bring EVERYTHING ) lol.
The other boys had a good time too, they got things they asked for ,and some things they didnt, but they enjoyed all their gifts. 
Each year the boys get a new ornament from me. I hate the thought of them leaving me when they grow up, cause my tree will be empty! This was one of Alecs this year, I love this one, no explaination needed for anyone that knows me. This was the other one I got for Alec, sorry for the glare of the flash.
Ok, I am going to warn all my friends, This will not be a good year for me, Or at least the next 6 .5 months. it is KILLING me that Alec is graduating, I cry everytime I think about it, and I dont mean a little tear.. I mean cry like a baby.. I dont know how I will get thru this whole thing.... I have lots to do to get ready for it, and that will keep my busy, but I am so sad that my First born is this grown up.... I love him to death, he is such a great kid, any mom would be so lucky to have him for a son. .... Ok, I will stop now cause I am crying again..lol. I told ya!!
One more picture and I will let you go, This one makes me want to cry to, its of Brett, and he is in his ROTC uniform. IT hurts to see him like this for so many reason.. the biggest one is cause this is what he wants to do with his life.. Join the MARINES.. and while I am so proud that we have raised such a patriotic son, I hate that this is what he wants to do...

Ugh. I have a picture of my cousin Brett in his uniform too. Same thing, ROTC in high school then right to it. It is what he has always wanted to do but it just kills me...and he isn't my son. I don't know how you do it.
You'll get through this sweetie. It will be tough but you CAN do this. ((HUGS))
yep! I feel your pain. I boo hooed six months before Patrick graduated and for six months after. It's really hard sometimes being at school without him there.
Anyway, Brett looks sharp in that uniform. I know how worried you must be, I get sick just thinking about one of mine joining, and we are a military family.

I understand completely how you feel. My son moved to Fl. the same week that my daughter left for college. I should have taken out stock in kleenex. We'll be here for you Tami, dear!
Gosh it is a long way off before miss 6 finishes school. Wonder how I will cope?

Just checking in. I haven't seen any new posts lately and you haven't commented on my blog either. Are you doing OK?
