All My Boys....

Always during good times, and especially when times were not so good, I find myself picking out those things....and people.... that I am most grateful for. My list is long, I really have been so blessed in so many ways. I have kind, loving parents who have worked their whole lives to set a sturdy example for me and my siblings---each of whom I am so particularly grateful for. I have learned so much from each of them, and still continue to appreciate thier love and examples. Although there have been several good friends, I really feel lucky to have those few friends who have remained very close....even when distance keeps us apart. Most definately I have been overwhelmingly blessed in the love of my husband, my eternal companion, my best friend, my Matt. Our seven years have taken us here, there, and back again. We have had our share of twists and turns, but at the end of each day we are hopelessly devoted and maddeningly in love with one another. Our three handsome devils---more so some days than others---have blessed our lives and increased our love to the greatest degree. Dryden is now 5 and preparing for kindergarten. Most days I am certain he is smarter than me. He was sent to this world all wrapped up in a ball of energy...which seems to increase with age!! He loves to keep everyone laughing! Cohen is now 3...and a definate 1/2...Talk about your Wild Card!!!!! Rarely do I have the slightest idea what mischief he is working up behind that breathtaking face, but he always has several hugs and kisses hiding in his Batman cape to fix whatever needs fixing once his ideas have materialized! Caden is now 9 months.......and pure Angel. He wakes up each morning laughing---at who knows what---and sleeps thru the night with the sweetest smile upon his face. A girl couldn't ask for more.
