Another Milestone...


On July 16th, Andrew turned 18 years old. According to the world he is an adult. But to me he will always be my baby boy. This year Andrew decided he wanted to have some friends over for a cookout and then they would all head out to see " The Dark Knight"The party took place Friday night.
I let Andrew plan his menu and this is what he chose: Grilled Hamburgers and Sausage, Homemade Macaroni and Cheese, Chips, Cheese Balls with Crackers, Grilled onions and peppers, watermelon, baked beans, veggie tray (Mom's input) and four layer chocolate pie. So that's what we had. Well of the 9 people who RSVP'd yes only 4 showed up. So guess what my family is eating for the rest of the week:). The young people who showed up were a blessing and I think they all had a good time. Only the guys headed to the movies, Heather bailed out. I think she was smart!!
Andrew, has grown into an awesome young man. He loves the Lord and his family and friends. He has claimed the Faith as his own and this one fact gives me the greatest joy. So to my smart,funny,sweet young man, know that I love you and look forward to watching you grow in your relationship with the Lord. I am so excited about what the future holds for you.
