Hahaha!  so great!  But not so fast grandpa, you're not going anywhere any time soon!  

I knew the day was coming.  My boy is growing up so fast.  He likes baseball, he likes soccer, he likes to do lots of things.  But he LOVES farming.  And yesterday afternoon he truly felt like all his dreams were coming true.  Despite the several more gray hairs that immediately appeared on my head upon finding out about the days events, my heart is full of pride.  So proud of what is important to him, his work ethic, and his desire to do things to the very best of his ability.  a big day for sure. Where will we go from here? :)
