My Baby Boy is 18 months...

Thoughts...

This picture was taken in the van after a snow trip. His first!

My sweet little baby! He is growing up so fast! He talks a ot now and is a pretty good traveler. We (the kids and I) woke up last week and thought it would be fun to go to Btown and surprise both grandmas! They were both very surprised. It was an extremely quick trip though.

Btown looks and feels different. I don't think that we will ever call it home again. One of the kids said "we should move here to be close to cousins. But I also want our school to come and all our friends." I told them that sounded nice but impossible. He understood.

I have been trying lately to get more connected to my kids. After this weekends Wonderful General Conference, I know that it is a worthy persuit of mine. (but of course they are all home now plying/ watching a movie and I am blogging, hehe) I told my Sweetie not to long ago that we really only have 8-9 years left of teaching boy #1 and how quickly the first 10 years went. I wonder alot if I have taught him enough? He starts middle school next year. I want him to saty at the elementary him and dad want to go to "the middle school". I just hope that I have taught him enough, that he is strong enough to make good friends and good choices.

My friend counseled me the other month as we discussed this, "that you have to let them grow up and maybe he can be the light for good that the other kids need." I will take comfort in that. I will continue to love him and the others and hold on as long as I can.
