Guilty As Charged!

Jordan Craig Shrum , in 9 short days will be making his mother Mary Ann Shrum age 32, the mother of a teenager. He will be starting the 8th grade this coming August ......


where his brother Josiah Shrum age 11, will be joining him at his Middle School, Yes, this is right this poor mother will have 2 in Middle School this year ..... (People he is not as innocent as his looks here in this picture)

and his sister Sara Ava Shrum age 5, will be starting Kindergarden.
How can these children do this to their poor momma , it seems so unfair! Why is life so cruel!?!?

They do grow up so fast, don't they! You still are such a hip, cool, mom...even if you do have a teenager! You'll have to let me know what's more difficult-being the mom of a teenager, or a three year old! lol

Mary Ann said...

Love all of the pictures of the kids. Thanks for that. We miss 'em.
Although they are getting older they will always feel like your little babies, even when they are 32, 29 & 22. Lol at that.

Oh you are still such a baby!
Wish I was 32!
This mother at 43 has a 23 yr old daughter that just got her masters and has started getting her doctorate, she teaches high school geometry, I have a 20 yr old son that is a chef and just got back from NY, a 13 yr. old daughter that will also be in 8th grade next yr., a 4 yr. old daughter & a 2 yr. old son.
Ever heard "starting over"?
I miss talking to you when have you planned our next get together?

They just grow so fast! You do not look near old enough to have a teenager in the house.

Mary Ann said...

No one ever prepares us for how hard it is to see our children growing up so fast! It can make your heart just hurt sometimes, that's for sure! You are an awesome mom to teenagers on down to preschoolers! You are a pro and I may need your help in a few years when I hit those teenage years! :)
