I am perhaps one of the rare parents who LOVES parenting teenagers, and being with all three of them for a few uninterrupted days in Florida was glorious. We played mini golf, they swam in the ocean, I walked on the beach, we laughed a lot, and we rotated between Crazy 8s, Hearts, and Game that Song as our current favorite family games. So sweet.

I also started the college process with William. It’s one of those “put your money where your mouth is” seasons. We get to guide him without pressuring him to find a few different schools that could fit his interests and abilities and then to hold it all really loosely, with confidence that closed doors are as much a sign of answered prayer as acceptance letters.
