I am not ready for this. This week we have been doing our best trying to cope with the fact that Gavin is going to junior high school in the fall. We went and got him registered yesterday and after we were done with that he took me on a tour around the school. Let's just say that the little walk we had around the school made me sick to my stomach. Just the very thought that my little baby boy was not my little boy any longer. He is going to be seeing what the world has to offer him when he goes into that school day after day. This was the place that my baby was going to be faced with decision after decision, those little decisions that add up and effect the big decisions. Is he ready for the world? Have I done my part in instilling in him the values and the sense of right and wrong that will carry him? Am I strong enough to let him go? I never thought in a million years that letting your children actually grow up could be so darn hard.
I want a rewind button right now, or at the very least, a pause button.

I remember my 7th grade year. I met the cutest boy and had the most secret crush on him. Blonde hair, amazing smile his name was Matt Bass. I still have a picture of him in my school memories box that he gave me.
(probably what you didn't want to hear, about girls having little crushes on him;)
Gavin is a great kid, how could he not be:)
It'll be fine. Gav's a good kid. He'll be amazing because he has amazing parents. That's what I've learned over the past couple of years...
I'll be a senior next year; now that's scary.

Gavin? He's so awesome!!! He went out of his way to help me clean up after the YW/YM activity the other night and gave me a big hug. It made my day! He is an example of someone who stands up for what they believe in...he could be in the army of Helamen! You've taught him well, Xandi and Stacy! He knows what is right and even better, he follows what he knows. You've got nothing to worry about! And he's cute, too!
