They grew up so fast…

                 I was looking through some pictures when I came across this one taken only a few short years ago.  Two of them have recently gotten their drivers licenses, and the third one is a few months away from getting his permit.  These are my pajama boys of summer, who I have written about in the past.  I’ve […]
