Today was Zane's first day at ASU. He earned a scholarship to attend a robotics class there. He'll be learning programs like Alice and Mindstorm. His dad drops him off at the bus stop by his work in the morning, and he takes the bus home in the afternoon. I have to admit, sending my 11 year old on a city bus all alone was pretty scary. Visions of crazy people, missed buses, and a lost little boy getting off in south Phoenix filled my mind all morning. But he walked in this afternoon all smiles, official ASU t-shirt in hand! I'm so proud of him. He works so hard at all he does. Way to go Zane!
YES, WE REALLY DO HAVE EIGHT!
YES, We Really Do Have Eight!
I love babies. When my babies hit their first birthday, I long once again for that tiny helpless little person that smells like baby powder and doesn't squirm away when you're staring at his beautiful little face. Now don't get me wrong. I love the other stages too. I laugh out loud when I hear the jibber jabber of his first words (Jackson). I giggle when I see one dance hysterically when she hears a Justin Bieber song (Bekkah). I beam with pride when she puts gospel principals into action as she prepares for her upcomming baptism (Emily). I am amazed over and over as he accepts and conquers challenges far beyond his years (Ammon). I burst with pride as I watch his determination and drive in all that he sets his mind to (Zane). I melt when I see the empathy, and concern she has for others (Mckenzie). I have to catch my breath when I see him snuggle with his baby brother (Zachary). I am amazed as I read his letters from his mission (Tres). I guess I just love it all. And this is why I have, despite my horrible pregnancies, we have eight beautiful, talented, amazing, wonderful children!

That sounds like the coolest program ever--I'm going to have to find out more about it for my kids. And good job to your son for having a great day and a great time. I have to admit I would have worried myself to death too. :)
Congrats to Zane! That is so awesome. Brian says he wishes he had something like that when he was young!
