Presenting Bloomington/Normal's Newest Driver . . .

Well, he did it! He got his license today! A big CONGRATULATIONS to Alex!

His BIGGEST birthday present, thanks to Oma & Pappy, will be officially his as of May 16:


Gulp. Are we REALLY ready for this? I have to confess -- I choked back tears (a couple of times unsuccessfully) on a number of occasions today as I came to the realization of exactly what turning 16 years old means. (The "parenting manual" didn't say anything about all the emotions we would experience as we celebrate this milestone birthday! LOL) It's happening right before our eyes -- our son is growing up, spreading wings, and becoming a responsible, young adult. Wow. Amazing how that happens.

Get in, buckle up, sit back, and relax (yeah, RIGHT!) -- we're headed down a whole new road! :o)
