Nolan is growing.
And quickly.
Getting taller,
His adult teeth
have now made their
grand appearance.
My baby boy
is now my boy.
Tonight I found out
he knows
more than I thought.
And so we had
a 7 year old version
of the talk.
I hadn’t planned for this.
Totally taken by surprise.
But really, I better prepare
myself.
Soon enough
he will be
8-9-10-11-12
13.
Oh 13-18 is scary.
I mean how long
can I take him
in the womens
restroom?
Very soon the tables
will turn and he
will be asking me
for privacy.
I wonder when the
day will come
that he doesn’t
want to snuggle.
And one day
he will actually
prefer to
sleep
in his own bed.

I fear that same fear with my boys. The fear of not being needed for the cuddling or being replaced completely. I keep every moment locked in my heart and pray for the strength when the time comes. As I also pray for you Angie. Much love.

I sure have noticed a lot of growth in Nolan in the last year. But I love the way he loves his Grandma’s. Grandma Barb playing cars with him yesterday was just so cute. He sure enjoyed it, he even acted like he didn’t know I was there. I am glad I like to share him and to remember that he deserves all the love he gets…. The not so important Grandma when the other Grandma is there!

This year Brandon’s baby face changed into a little boys face. I have to tell him now that it is not appropriate anymore to change in front of other people. He doesn’t think there is anything wrong with it and it sucks that I have to take away that pureness in his mind and tell him it is not ok anymore. Angie I feel your pain. I wish we could keep them little forever. But no matter what they will always be our baby boys! But it still sucks that they have to grow up:)

You blink and kids are all grown up…it happens way too fast…
Here praying as always!
Psalms 18:28-30 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness. For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall. As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
