When my oldest daughter was baptized in January 2005, I was pregnant with my youngest son, AJ. I remember how old and mature I thought she was – my oldest was 8! Now here we are, 8 years and a few months later. My oldest is 16 and my baby boy is 8. As grown…

I don’t know about your schools, but in our area, once May rolls around the concert/performance/ceremony schedule accelerates out of control.
