Happy 18th Birthday

Carolyn turned 18 last week while Don and I were out of town. It was during her first full week of classes at PSU so she celebrated with her new friends. I moved Carolyn into her dorm two weeks ago with Bryan's help. He drove in from Pittsburgh to help me. (Don was in the UK that day.)

We thought of her all day on her birthday and managed to catch her for a quick phone call. Now-a-days 18 doesn't provide the same benefits as it did in our day but it is still a milestone in a young person's life.

It's also a milestone in every parent's life: "Can you believe we have an 18-year old?!" An 18 and 20-year old in our family now! We can remember their "birth" days like they were yesterday, and we're still in awe.
