Welcome! I love your blog. Thank you so much -- yes, boys hold our hearts a little differently, don't they? I should add that Nate saw this post, and he turned around and said (completely serious) "I'm NOT going to stop coming over and visiting you ..." He meant it, I know. But I also know better. They do grow up. And they still like hanging out with you, but it's just in a different way. (It's not built on "need," I guess.) But there are so many other cool things to look forward to -- it's a long and wild ride! : ) IzzyMom — Hello! Welcome! I love your blog.

I always have trouble posting these really personal ones because I never know if anyone is going to like them (I often hit "Post" with my eyes closed!). So your feedback means more to me than you know. Johnny and Chris -- Well, as relatives to Nate, you guys know what I mean! Dad, you really nailed it when you said "the funny thing is you teach them to slip away ... and then you are saddened when they do." Well said! And Chris, I love your description of imp/Indiana Jones/Evel Knievel ... score! Judy and Rosy — Thanks so much for the kind feedback.

Laurie I think you've captured him so perfectly. There is a little imp,, a little Indiana Jones, a little Evel Knievel and all love. You know I am a sappy dad, and you had to put this perfect picture up. I have to get a new Iphone now as this one is drenched in tears!

And you are right, those eyes do something to you. They capture you right off. I know the feeling Laurie, you watch them grow up and slip away right before your eyes. The funny thing is you teach them to slip away, so to speak, and then you are saddened when they do. Those eyes, almost every parent sees them in their children at some point or other....They say "I love you"....when you see them it is such a feeling, you want time to stop so that you can enjoy them a little longer. You captured them perfectly. Ahhh!, those eyes..... Laurie, I was really taken by this shot of Nate. And you are right, those eyes do something to you. They capture you right off.

You just scored further tear-jerking points, since our nest is now (or currently?) empty... Well, Laurie, your blog is up there with the best of them in my opinion.
