Everyone always says “one day, it will be your turn and you’ll know how it feels.”  Your turn to have the crazy screaming kid at the restaurant.  Your turn to pay the bills.  Your turn to feel old as your baby cousin goes to prom and graduates from high school.  It was my turn last weekend: There are three cousins in my family who everyone still refers to as “the babies.”  I never really thought about it until my husband was introduced to the family and commented that it was weird we called teenagers “babies.”  I’m married, pushing a quarter of a century (oh, that makes me feel old) and still referred to as one of “the little girls.”  Well, “the babies” are officially becoming adults.  This past weekend, I watched as they got ready for prom and drove off with their dates, all dressed up and looking every bit of grown-up.  In today’s mail arrived a graduation announcement of one of “the babies.”  I remember him as a two-year old wearing a lion costume for Halloween and he’s graduating from high school in two weeks.  Well, it is now his turn: to do his best, to dream big, and to live it up.

Here are a few shots before they left for prom:
