Cuzin' Astro will study Electrical Engineering, aspiring to work for NASA one day. The sky is the limit for this young lady. Just wait and see!
Boll Weevil will study Environmental Science. His goal is to work to improve our quality of living while minimizing the impact on our earth and it's resources. A lofty goal, but one he shares with many others who are like-minded.
It is interesting to see, how even at a young age, these two were leaning in these directions all along.
How time does fly. It seems just yesterday that Mama Astro and I were swapping stories of sleepless nights with our newborns. Cuzin' Astro was NOT a sleeper as an infant and I thought for sure that they'd never get any rest. Today, she sleeps til noon, oh how things change, LOL!

Little Astro :)
These two cousins are so blessed. For all of their lives they've had each other. At a mere 6 months apart in age, they've shared many memorable moments. They've always had each other to talk to, to share joys and pains, and to know that when one fell the other would pick them up. How can the value of this be measured? It is priceless. Thank you God for families!

Boll Weevil,
Your infancy is long gone but in my heart you'll always be my curly-haired beautiful blue-eyed baby boy who thought Batman ruled the world.

Now the world awaits you son. Embrace all the opportunities you are presented with, both the good and the bad. God never wastes one joy or one trial on us. His love for us is too great. It is through these moments that we see Him glorified. And too, when we see Him at work in our lives. It is proof that our Heavenly Father walks beside us continually, shaping us and molding us into the people He would have us become. We are so proud of you, of what you stand for and we eagerly await what lies ahead for your bright future.
With Sky-fulls of Love,
Mom and Dad
Congratulations BW and CA!!
I am now so truly aware of how fast kids grow up. Enjoy this special summer before he goes off to college. Enjoy the celebration of his graduation. I am sure there were days when you worked just as hard to get him there as he did.
ReplyDeletePS. I think it is a good idea to let him keep thinking his life is complicated NOW. You don't want to thwart his excitement about becoming an adult! :)
