Four Future Men

We have in our home four future men. Our sons. Each of them well on their way to becoming men. So, that means that Matt and I are responsible for making sure that they are guided and taught how. Whoa! That is a huge revelation. Sometimes, I think in my eyes, they are still babies. When they were first born they needed us for EVERYTHING! Food, clean diapers, cuddles, hugs and so much more. Now that they are getting big physically and are growing in independence, our tendency is to think that they don't need as much. NOT TRUE! We are finding that they need us now more than ever. They still need me to make sure they are eating enough fruits and veggies, they still need Matt to read them stories or listen to them read stories, they still need to be hugged on every chance we get, and they need to see that their parents still love eachother! Most of all, I think they just need us around. For the daily life that they are learning to live. I want to make sure that we don't lose sight of the fact that they will always need mom and dad just as they need to breathe. If the next ten years go by even half as fast as the last ten, I don't want to waste a minute of it!
