I'm sitting here tired and moody on a Friday night with my second glass of wine and feeling a whole lot of tender cluckiness for your boys - who I've never met. Just lovely. Aw, I love this post.

I hug them and tickle them and try to remember that this sweetness is only for such a short time, my personal time can wait till they are in bed - but by glory there will be no tv or computer tomorrow for anyone who gets out of bed tonight!!!

And you don't have to deal with Alabama's state bird (the mosquito) virtually year-round. ;) Amy and Barbara, the bonus of living in your snow-covered worlds (besides snowball fights) is that you get to mock those of us in the south that don’t know how to drive on ice and freak out over a projected 1 inch of accumulation.

We're having snow in Green Bay--again. I'm also jealous of your little boys. It's been a very long time since I had to let my nestlings fly, and mine flew very far away to Montana and Kentucky, but one's coming home to start building his own nest not too far away. Thanks for the reminder that every day is precious. I, too, am jealous of that sunshine and obvious warmth. We’re having snow in Green Bay–again.

And those kids are not wearing ANY jackets at all!! Why do I live in New England again? ;) Hmm, I never thought of my oldest as a sentinel.. but I am keenly aware that I've had all the babies I'm going to have, and the girl is doing all the firsts for the last time--if that makes any sense. It's bittersweet. LOOK AT THAT SUN!!! And those kids are not wearing ANY jackets at all!! Why do I live in New England again? ;)
