Another one of my children turned 18, which technically means that our family now consists of four adults and two kids! It wasn't that long ago that I worried about the kids outnumbering the adults! We haven't had a family picture taken recently, but if we had, you would see that almost all of us are close to the same height. Ben is a few inches shorter, but the rest of us hover between 5'7" and 5'10". It's pretty strange having a bunch of adult sized people in the house and no little kids!
Anyway, for Kylie's birthday, we gave her a good sleeping bag and a pair of hiking boots. She wants to go to college in Colorado, so we thought she should have some good camping gear. She loves the outdoors and I'm sure she'll have plenty of opportunities to explore wherever she ends up.
She didn't want to have a big party like Nathan had, but I wanted to do something special. She decided going out to dinner would be fun, so she invited her good friend, Justeen, and we went out to a nice Thai Restaurant.
Happy Birthday, Kylie! I'm excited to see what the next year has in store for her, even though it mean she will be leaving home. She's definitely proven herself to be hardworking, determined, and responsible, so I'm not worried about her succeeding at whatever she tries, but I will miss her!
