Turns out I'm a little bit slow.........

Those of you who know me well will know that this is not only not a surprise, but is more than a little bit true.  

Gavin is playing college football--he's a receiver for Foothill College, keep an eye out here for more on that.  He hopes to transfer in two years and continue playing while he gets a business/hospitality degree.

Devin is becoming quite the performer--He plays drums, guitar and will be taking piano this year.  He wants to write his own music, and go into music as a profession.

All this means that they've grown up.....I must have blinked and missed it, because I swear we were just teaching them to dress themselves, pee standing up and tie their shoes.  I know they've had part-time jobs for almost four years.  I know they've each dated.  They graduated a few months ago.  All of those things should have clued me in to them having grown up, but denial is a beautiful place, you know what I mean?

So, next week Devin starts classes at CSM and Gavin starts double day practices at Foothill.  They have classes and obligations, drivers licenses and jobs.  They have friends that are going to last a lifetime, and they have parents who love them very much and a mom who is stunned that they are this grown.
