And POOF... He is All Grown Up!
In a blink of an eye your child is ready to leave!! I know this must be how Lisha and Rick are feeling as they prepare for their oldest to embark on his next life journey-college! As close family friends of the Kievits, I have had the pleasure of witnessing most all stages of Jared's life. It is hard to believe that the once squeaky infant turned HP wanna-be is getting ready to leave the nest. It is a surreal time for parents as many describe wanting to simultaneously hold their child tightly while trying to boot them out of the house. Jared may feel the same way... well, maybe not the "hold them tightly" part! So often we say that children "develop" into something over time, as if they are altered in some way. However, Jared is just a bigger and (slightly) more mature version of his miniature self-intelligent, funny and kind and I can not wait to see what all he accomplishes as he enters this next state of his life.
