Picture of the Week - 4/18/2019

Happy Thursday!

I noticed something the other day that was one of those things that could easily have slipped by without comment.  I easily could have missed it - not even noticed until it was so far done that I couldn't remember the "before".  

I noticed that Zane's face is changing.  Like he's CHANGING from the little boy I've grown so accustomed to and BECOMING an older version of himself.  His cheekbones are becoming more pronounced.  He's getting more angular.  I know from experience that this is the prep for all the really big changes coming over the next couple of years.  I know that the little boy is in the rear view mirror.  

What a sucker punch!

Figured I should take (and share) some pictures of my little boys now before they look like grown men.  I will attempt to get some pictures of the big guys this weekend.  Bonus points if that includes pictures with bunny ears on!  (Also - can't go a week without a new Brutus picture...  I might be a little bit obsessed with that dog...)

Newsie stuff

- Quinn got his Driver's Permit.  He wasn't in as big a hurry for it as Spencer was, but he's got it now and we get to start the process of teaching him to drive.  (related...  I'm just going to start signing over my paycheck to car insurance now...)

- The high school lacrosse season is over for the year.  It was...  unfulfilling...  I think it's very likely that both my high school boys do something different next spring.  It's a shame.  Really...  but after watching and listening and experience this season, I don't blame them.  

- Zane and Beck have a game this weekend and then 2 games next weekend and they are done too.  CRAZY how fast the lacrosse season went this year!

- I'm leaving next Tuesday for an extended trip away.  It's going to be pretty fun, but also really LONG.  I know I'll miss home like crazy and I'm definitely dreading that part of it.  I'm also thankful for the opportunity to go do this - London and Dubai - and want to try to do the whole "living in the present" thing while I'm there so I can take it all in.  

Happy early Easter everyone!  Now's your chance to eat all the chocolate and jelly beans you want!
