This Time It Is Rosa Parks

When the children are all grown up and away from home I will miss evenings like this. And early mornings like this. This time it is Rosa Parks. A paper that needs to be written by Aaron - well just note cards and bibliography at this point. He is doing good work and I am just keeping him focused more than anything else. Oh how many times this drill has been repeated. I treasure these moments. I have always enjoyed the feeling of being up late in to the night; the solitude; the focus. Even when helping one of the children with a project, it feels right. I will miss this. Someday. Only a few more years.

A Little Bit of Everything

Mary and I traveled to Kent State today. Kelsey had returned for the semester last week and stayed with a friend, Abby. We took more of her stuff up today and joined her for lunch, along with Abby and Janine. What a wonderful lunch of conversation and sharing! Kelsey is so comfortable at Kent, and was so excited to be back there for this semester. It is heartwarming as a parent to see your child in that way - finding their own place and their own way and being so comfortable in their own skin!

I titled this post A Little Bit of Everything in reference to a great song shared by Amy McGrew. The song is by the Dawes and is definitely worth checking out.

Kelsey is living life and taking time to experience a  little bit of everything. Keep doing what you do Kelsey!
