Nick has been gone to outdoor school all this week. The house has been very quiet without him. Even Gabi has been missing him! No strange random noises coming from downstairs, no yelling and making random noises in the morning as he comes upstairs. No nagging anyone about making sure the back door is locked. And nobody home to take out the trash. My trash can is full and needs to be emptied.
I can't believe how fast he has grown up! In just 1 month he will be 12 years old. What happened to my camo loving little sweetie? That boy used to LOVE dressing all in camo and thought it was so funny when we pretended we couldn't see him.
He also used to be the ruler Bryan used to measure the sturgeon they caught because he was the same length as the keeper sized fish. He still loves to go fishing with dad, but he's now much bigger. In fact his foot is as big as mine now, but I still have a few inches on him!
Look how sweet they were! He used to really like his big sister. He still likes her when she isn't annoying the crap out of him! But now it's next to impossible to get them to take a picture together.
Now he's a big soon-to-be middle schooler. Just a few more days of 6th grade and then we say goodbye to grade school forever. Gone is my little boy who always called Buzz Lightyear Buzz Year Light. Here to stay is the active boy who loves anything involving the outdoors. His quad, his bikes, skateboards, hiking, fishing, anything to do with the river & water. He loves life and there is so much more energy in the house when he is around.
Can't wait to have him home again. It just isn't the same around the house without him.
