Maybe I'm being sappy this morning, but I can't help thinking about my boys as adults. I keep getting this picture in my head of two men, one that looks remarkably like my husband and one that resembles me a bit more, with their arms around each other's shoulders, grinning from ear to ear. It makes me tear up. I hope I can raise them to be respectable, good men. Attachment Deleted
I've been having those thoughts too! Picturing my handsome son towering over his big sister and smiling at college graduation. My daughter telling me she's pregnant (when she's like ...at least 25 please lol)

Don't mind me, I just have something in (both of) my eye(s).
I think about that a lot too. I had a dream the other night we were at Lincoln's wedding and Calvin was the best man. They looked a lot alike in my dream, just Calvin had brown hair.

I think about it a lot too. I picture M with a Zach Galifianakis type beard up on a stage somewhere, and J living in a cabin in the woods rescuing animals. The jury's still out on G. Lol
Seriously, though, I do wonder what they will be like, and which one will have kids first, and hope that their wives (or husbands, whatever) don't hate me.
My dad gleefully reminds me that G will be a teenager before we know it. I keep telling him I have more than 10 years for that. But he's right that lately time passes scary fast.
I just couldn't with the Father Daughter dance at my step-sisters wedding. Thinking about H doing that with our as-yet-to-be-born daughter just got me.

I think about them being as close like me and my sister are, and it overwhelms me. Thinking of them sharing all of life's huge moments, being in each other's weddings, holding each other's babies. It's so amazing to already to see them help each other over obstacles, and knowing they will have each other to do that for life is a gift, it truly is.
And watching all of YOUR children grow and turn into people has the same effect on me. I think about their newborn pictures turning into cherub little infants, then toddling around and now changing into children and I feel so lucky to watch that happen. It's also a wonderful present to be surrounded by so much love.
