My youngest child turned 21 years old on Friday. That feels like a big deal, so I wanted to write about it for a minute.
Here he is 3 years ago when he graduated high school:

My 50th Christmas Dawns And I Post All the Pictures
December 25, 2015 • 2015, Christmas, family, missions, travel, Utah
I haven't been keeping a record of all my Christmases, so this being the 50th one isn't hugely significant, but it crossed my mind this morning as I woke early and put on some music. I am back in Utah, where I would have spent my very first Christmas, so there's a little symmetry for you, but other than that, the only thing to remark on this morning is that it's a White Christmas, which doesn't happen too often in Maryland. I woke at 6 am and heard the plows out, which means there was fresh snowfall in the night.
The Long Journey of a Mormon Missionary
October 25, 2015 • 2015, autumn, Evan, leadership, missions, quotes, travel
A week ago Saturday night we got an email from Evan letting us know that he would indeed be heading to Argentina on Monday. There was some question because of a glitch in his visa application, and we were prepared for the possibility of his serving in the US for about 6 weeks while his visa was sorted. Apparently though, he needs to be in Argentina, because something that was expected to take a week to get through bureaucratic channels only took 24 hours.
Five For Five
September 10, 2015 • Evan, I'm a Mormon, kids, missions, motherhood
I never served a mission for my church, but it is a huge part of the culture of people who are trying to live our religion. It's a decision that different people come to for different reasons, and it's always something I admire.
It's been a week since This happened:
A Quick Post to Dissipate Some Crazy
April 3, 2015 • 2015, april, easter, friendship, missions, Sara, thinking out loud
Goodness! My nervous system is on high alert today. I'm so excited for Sara's return on Tuesday but I'm now into the tiny last minute details of wanting her to have a really nice place to come home to. Since we had turned her room into an office, we are remaking it into a bedroom. The flood we had last weekend when our water heater quietly leaked gallons of water all over the two lower levels of our house definitely put me off schedule and I wish I had things more put together for her welcome home. I have to admit I'm kind of upset about not having things perfect (as I define it, ha), but that's generally not the way of life, especially not my life.
