AHA!



I have been blessed with two of the coolest little boys in the world. Im sure everyone thinks that about their own children but really you would have to meet mine. HA HA They are always happy boys but something happens to them when they get outside. I watch them emerse themselves into the dirt. It is glorious to watch the sheer abandanment of it. They have not a care in the world but the feel of the sun on them and the dirt they are digging in. Im not sure what they are digging for but the have reassured me that they will let me know when they find it. I do have to say that it is very interesting all the things they bring to me in the search though. For some reason they think I want to see what dead creature or ooey gooey thing they find. I just watched them play in the dirt today and I thought to myself I have succeded in one thing. There is something about watching your kids enjoy life in its most simple form through the eyes of a boy and his Tonka Truck. So as I am up to my knees in Hot Wheels, Tonka Trucks, Spiderman, Star Wars, Bakugan, Lighting McQueen, some kind of green goo that keeps popping up, Spongebob underwear, and Fudgecicle stained faces, I get it. God new what he was doing. He knew me. Me and my boys... we are a perfect match. My heart is hurting a little less because I realize the little girl in my dream is just that a dream and my boys are real..and amazing and what it is all about. I believe Oprah calls it an AHA! moment.

Now that I have dried up my tears....I must say Becky,have succeded in so much more than ONE thing! You truly are the "Perfect" mommy. As I watched you and the boys today,,,,,,I felt that it isn't a clean garage,a mopped kitchen floor or a tidy room that bring tears of joy.....but watching my beautiful little girl grown into the wonderful Mommy....watching my truly amazingly happy little grandsons at play.

So if you wonered why I just hung out today, it's because I was feeling what you just wrote!!!
