last friday jake went to "sleepaway" camp for the first time. he was SUPER excited and we were too. andy and i were so thrilled for him to have this experience, be surrounded by christian men and women totally focused on him and for him to make some great friends at church. i LOVED camp when i was growing up and i was so excited for this to become a tradition that he looked forward to each year as well. the mama part of me had a harder time with it though. not until he actually boarded the bus though. then i got into my car and all of a sudden i was bawling like a baby. i hate this growing up thing. HATE. IT.
j got home safe and sound on sunday, had an incredible time, didn't even open the packaging on his soap to even fool me into thinking he cleaned his body in the shower, and showered all of us with gifts from the gift shop. love that boy...love his heart.
this was the last face i saw before he got on the bus...i think that's what set off the tears. look at that worry :(

I might have cried too. This little face just gave me chills up my neck. So grown up. He told me he loved camp. Yay!
