Erin ...18 years old

It's hard to believe that our youngest child will be 18 on Saturday.

She is filling out college applications, and driving here and there to her

internship and to work.  She is busy and happy.

We took these pictures of her this fall. 

I think they are beautiful of her.

good grief... when did she grow up??
