How Did This Happen?

I got tears in my eyes while telling someone this was our last trip to Baltimore to see the JHU water polo team play in the Navy Tournament.  Has it really been 3 years since we sent Kyle off to Hopkins?  Hard to believe.  Now we are getting ready to send off Lisa (aka "the little one").

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?  How lucky are we?  As Dick and I move into a new part of our lives, these amazing kids are starting theirs.  It's hard not to get caught up in their energy.  There is so much that is new and exciting for them.  I keep reminding myself to stand back, enjoy and try not to insert myself into their "thing."  That's hard.  I want to share my experiences and wisdom with them.  BORING.  Note-to-self---it doesn't matter what I've done--just that I'm there to step aside and enjoy.

As I stand back and try to go Zen, I realize how much I'm going to rely on Archie to get me through all this.

Woof.

Oh Pernille i know how you feel, been there done that, for a while you feel like someone cut part of you off, but life doe's go on, this is after all how we raised them, to stand on their own 2 feet, it is just so hard not to be close by to catch them when they fall. And you know what, even when they have lives of their own, and even kids, you never stop worrying. Oh well you have a wonderful husband, and then there is always good old Archie.
