Forgive Me for Taking a Personal Moment.......

Any of you parents out there will certainly understand as I take a moment to show-off my first born! He is 15 years old, and went to his first "formal" dance on Saturday night. As you can see, he and his date are just delightful. I look at these pictures and think of the joy and wonder of life that we all embrace in our youth. Ahhhhhhhh, to be young again would be great, but I would never trade it for the feeling I have when I look at these pictures. My children; truly the best part of who I am...............

  • SLOAN!!!!!!!!!

    YOU ARE AWESOME!!

    I am still wiping the tears from my face from laughter!!!

    I am so glad you come by and comment!!

    My poor son, we went shopping for a suit for him, I found a 40 REG jacket, the smallest they had. His head just looked so small! LOL!!! ( the young man is only 5'3" )

    Thank God I had enough sense to not buy that jacket...

    I called a friend of mine-- GREAT GUY! He was soooo kind-- HE took my son shopping for me. Of course-- they got the suit he is wearing....

    Thank GOD for him-- I had enough sense to recruit help.....

    LOL!!!!

    Thanks for sharing!!

    What a GREAT question...

    I have this blog site because it truly is my PASSION!

    I enjoy it ALL-- even the comments that disagree---

    If my son were to pursue politics-- I would do ALL I could to help...

    Now-- your question tips onto a very important topic.

    If my son pursued a career in geneology-- I would still help him... but because MY PASSIONS are in politics- I may be more efective in helping him.....

    Does this make any sense?

    Either way--- I am his MOM first-- and encouraging him to follow the morals I instilled in him would be my FIRST job- regardless of what career path he pursues......

    GREAT QUESTION!!!!!!!!!

  • Hi Sherri,

    Your boy looks SO happy and handsome! How proud you must be of him! My boy is all grown up now and living in another state, so thanks so much for sharing yours. The pictures brought tears to my eyes. And Sloan, thanks to you for sharing your marvelous story. Happy Valentines Day to everybody! sniffle-sniffle

  • I am in shock! From your picture, I can't believe you are old enough to have a 15 year old. For a moment, I did not know what page I was looking at.

  • Sherri, they make a very attractive couple. You must be so proud. My son went to his first formal last fall (Harrison homecoming). He looked quite handsome in a black suit, white shirt and pink and grey striped tie. It was his first suit and it changed his life. Now he wears thrift-shop blazers and ties to school all the time (because I won't let him wear the good suit on a regular basis). He decided he definitely wants a career where he gets to dress up all the time. I thought that was just great because people who wear suits to work make more money (unless they're limo drivers).
