I think that there’s a stereotype that parent’s cry and wish forlornly that their kids would stick around just a little bit longer.  We’re supposed to wander the empty rooms clutching their baby boy bedding or cry when we find an old cloth diaper last used as a dust rag.  Not me!

I’m really excited!  I’m scared, too, but I was scared at kindergarten, middle school and high school, too.  I’m thoroughly ready for them to achieve the next stage of their lives.  I can almost feel how this stage (high school) has maxxed itself out, and even having them around the house seems standing still somehow.

And I’m really excited for graduation!  I have friends and family flying out for the ceremony, which will be held at Douglas County High School.  They stay at the house, and we all have a lot of fun together even after the ceremony.  I want to show them a lot of the sites here in Colorado, and I just have to figure what will please both the small children and the old folk…but without leaving everyone gasping for air in our altitude.  Pike’s Peak has a lot to offer, from a Cog Railway to Cave of the Winds to a small quaint town to a zoo.  Graduation?  I can’t wait!
