It's official....my baby son is now 16 years old. It's so strange I can hardly believe it. I always thought "older" people were so goofy when they talked about how 
time speeds up the older you get, but it's honestly true. We had a weekend-long celebration, starting with dinner at Gilardi's on Friday night. Grandad then surprised Jacob at home by passing on his 2003 Alero to him. Jacob was completely surprised, and completely thrilled. Dad (Grandad) gave him a good talk about being responsible, etc., and Jacob seemed to take it very seriously....at least we hope.

On Saturday, Darrell, Jacob, and Grandpa went to the shooting range so Jacob could try out his Uncle Jeff's shotgun, and then we all met up later at home for cake.
MeMe and Dave took us all to lunch at Red Lobster on Sunday afternoon, and on his actual birthday (August 25th), Jacob started his sophomore year. 
Today will be attempt #1 at obtaining the coveted driver's license. I am picking him up after school to take him to Ozark (we hear Springfield is rather difficult). I am hopeful this will be the first and only try necessary as it will be much more convenient for Jacob to get himself to school at 6:15 a.m. for cross country practice!
