we are at the fledgling stage
of the empty nest,
welcoming them back home
at widely-spaced intervals.
we snagged Samuel
during his birthday month,
when he attains
the auspicious age of
21
he requested chocolate-on-chocolate
(& i threw in a little extra for good measure)
gift lists are now by-request items,
but still sometimes a surprise
(plus you can never have too many vitamins & command strips)
21 Candles, no less
a-BLAZE!!!
the sanitary method
of extinguishing the flames...
Happy 21st Birthday to a FABULOUS young man!
We love him sooooooo much!
& then he left.
a week later,
it was Joseph's turn
to depart...
the all-important cushy office chair
SENIOR year at NCSSM
down from a triple last year
to a roomy double this year
his hall, First
~ ~ ~
his dorm, Hill
Have a SUPER SENIOR YEAR!
We love him sooooooo much!
& then we left.
