Into My Mind

I've got big kids now and I think I'm going to cry. I'm going to cry out of happiness and out of sadness all at the same time. All three of the kids went to sleep in their own beds tonight; without a fight. If you're not a parent I'm not sure you'd understand, but it's a very big deal when this occurs. It means your babies are growing up.

I'm very proud of my babies. Nick is an intelligent almost 8 year old who truly does have a heart of gold. He is a very sensitive child that is always concerned about the welfare of others (especially his dad). Moira is such a drama queen and in a good way. She loves to dance and sing and draw. She is a talented artist and is always willing to do what it takes to make you smile. Aiden is my bull. He is one of the roughest, toughest kids I've met. He likes to hold his own with his siblings, along with any walls, floors, doors, toys, his own feet that get in the way. But, he's still my lover. He'll hug you and kiss you just to make you feel better.

My babies are growing up and it's just the little things like sleeping in their own beds that make me realize it.

J, I love you and miss you lots. I'll take lots of pictures for you, but not of them sleeping because, well that'd just be stupid.
