Mama....Tell Me About The Good Old Days

Last night after dinner, Sharman and I were in our room thinking back to when we were dating, first married, our first house, etc. After a while we pulled out the good old photo albums and started through them and looked back at things we have done and places we have been.

Soon we had one little kiddo curled up next to her Dad looking at the photos too and asking all about them and who and what and when and where. Not too much time had passed and another kiddo (this one not so little) had weaseled his way onto our bed and into the fold of his Dad's arm looking at the photos too.

Before the night was over we had lots of albums and squeals of "Oh look, there is Amy and me!!!" and "Wasn't I so cute when I was a baby?" and "Is that you or Kendon Dad?" and "Mom, where was I in this picture?" It really was a wonderful night and we all felt wonderful. It is a great way to connect again with your kids.

We loved looking and reminiscing. This morning, Syd got up and asked if we could do it again tonight. She wants to focus more on her album tonight.

Yep, I Am Classified As A Grown Up

I was talking to my sister-in-law Lisa the other day and we have come to agree that we are officially classified as grown ups. Why? Because we get excited when we buy things like a new upright freezer or a new washing machine.

I am now classified as a grown up because I am thrilled with the kitchen and dining room floors that Sharman just got finished staining. I love it.


Do you think this means I have to give up other fun things I love like.....

Riding my bike...... or.......

Roasting marshmallows and hotdogs over a campfire...... or.......

Feeding ducks at the nature park in the middle of winter...... or.........

Helping grandma do her makeup ..... or.......

Getting piggy-back rides from the most favorite man in my life?

If these things are out now that I am classified as an adult.....I want to change my vote.
