Time

Savor the moment.....
Six years ago today my youngest grandson was born. I was taking care of the older one at the time and he kept questioning "Is my brother here yet? Is my brother here yet? Is my brother here yet?"...he was a bit past three. Today, naturally, they poke and push each other like animals but life without either is unimaginable. Six!!!
Harder to believe, the boys' father, my son, turns 37 tomorrow. And me not quite 40! HAHAHAHA!
Wasn't it yesterday when he asked for a "Manilow cookie"...Milano. And wanted to learn how to "lawn the mow". Was it yesterday when he fell out of a tree, landed on his head and broke his wrist? How excited it was when he became a US ranked tennis player? When he bought a building for his now successful business? When he became a father?
Yesterday? No, but locked in my memory bank forever.
Just came in from a birthday breakfast with them and the little guy hugging me and saying "You're the best"...and the biggest one saying to him "I told you"...

Happy Birthday Boys!!!

We Survived!

The weekend was long but hopefully created alot of memories for the boys, certainly for us. They were several memorable moments. On one of our shopping trips, the little one only wanted Curious George BandAids and subsequently had various ailments needing one every hour or so. The big one had a birthday party to attend and had very close encounters with cake frosting. The biggest one (DH) seemed to regress a bit and was not sure where FROZEN pizzas should be placed! All in all, it was exhausting which basically sets in cement the saying "Child rearing is for the young!". The little one also loves baths and the photo is his wonderful wet head...yes, he's got amazing hair. He also wanted to learn to knit and with scissors, a crochet hook and an old ball of yarn proceeded to litter the house with cotton bits! The biggest success was bug macaroni and cheese...pasta in insect shapes was plate licking good. They also arranged the rings on this "hand"...good job guys!
