Color it. And then please don’t grow up.

We sat and colored.  All of us, minus Erin who was at Grandmas house.  I tried to get fancy with my camera.

Somehow, while she was gone for the weekend, Erin managed to grow up.  I honestly think she is taller now.  She left this evening when a friend and her dad came to pick her up.  The door closed, and I said to Doug…did Erin leave?  And then I stood there looking out her bedroom window as she jumped in the truck and was gone. 

Not even a goodbye, I said.

Better get used to it, he said.

I’m not ready to.
