All my words are being sucked up by revisions/copy edits on the new book. but I cannot overlook the two critical events of this past week. On June 23, Jake started college. And on June 25, Matt turned twenty-one.
"How have you come to this . . . to such a place as this?" (That would sound better if Hugh Jackman were singing it."
So here you go--my first two boys through the years :)

What a wonderful life we've had with these two! Happy birthday, happy college, and we can't wait until you come home for a visit :)
