Our boy is growing up.........

Luke spent his first night in his new house. No, he hasn't completely moved out yet, but he had a lot of work he wanted to do and decided he'd sleep there to do as much of it as possible. With the help of Grandma and Grandpa Wells, he purchased a new microwave last night, as well as buying supplies to repair the drywall/plaster in his bedroom. The kitchen is pretty well cleaned out (thanks to his new landlords Barb and Doug) and he's working at repairing and painting the walls and ceilings in his new room. He must not have been up too late, because he called Tim before noon for some advice on the drywall work.

I'm glad he's taking ownership of the place and working with his own hands to make it comfortable and fun for him. I'm sure this will be true for my other two children someday, although it may take l onger for Christina, who loves to shop for clothes, etc, and seems to slip one more thing in the cart for Mom and Dad to pay for.....

Till next time,

Suzi
