Brandon's 8th grade dance

I am watching my son grow up into a young man.
A young man who is developing a relationship.
A young man who is learning how to treat a lady right.
A young man who is thinking of someone before himself.
A young man who is learning compromise.
A young man experiencing life… with a young lady.

  9. It is cute to watch them be so silly and have fun. Makes my heart glow! They grow up in a blink of an eye. I look back at baby pictures and wonder where it all went and then think, it was a joyful ride to get where I am. :D

  10. It does, doesn't it Patty. My middle son will be in college next year. I have one left until I am an empty nester. I don't even want to think about THAT!

  14. As the mother of 2 daughters, I thank you BIG for raising your son to be a gentleman and I pray that others will do the same! (although, pretty sure my girls will have no problem speaking up for themselves - ha!) Love the picture of them on the swing.

  15. A relationship from 8th grade to sophomore year of high school now? That's a long time for that age group (my experience anyway). They look great together.

  18. They're sweet together... Kyle is in love for the first time in his life; it's sweet to see. Even better; she's wonderful. Let's hope they've learned everything we've taught them! :)
