Stepping Out of the Shadow






Garret is 17 today! I just cannot believe it. I am so excited for this year for him. He has so many abilities and interests and I think it will be a good thing that Chad is moving on to the next step of College so that Garret will have a year of making his own mark on things. He has so graciously lived in Chad's shadow, especially at school, so I think this will be a great year for him. He doesn't realize it now, but working hard for all these things will serve him well. He knows how to deal with disappointments, and how to work for what he wants. I am so proud of my cute red hair boy. We celebrated Sunday with my parents and had his favorite German meal, sauerbraten, spaetzle, and fruit trifle (this isn't so German, but who's counting).
