Seventeen Candles . . .

It's been a pretty quiet week around here which is why I haven't blogged much. November is the month that my first husband passed away. Tomorrow it will be five years. I can't believe it. It seems like just yesterday but, at the same time, a whole other life time ago. My father's anniversary was on Monday. It's been four years for him and I swear I could cry at the drop of a hat still when I think about it. We buried him on my husband's one year anniversary. In between those two sad days there is a wonderful day, though.



Our oldest son turned seventeen on Tuesday. I drove him to school on his birthday so he could sleep in a little bit. I looked at him in the car and told him that I'm too young to have a seventeen year old. Do you know what his response was? Are you ready for this one? Without missing a beat, he replied, "yeah and you're too old to have a baby." Needless to say, the melancholy feelings went right out the window and I punched him. : )








Ahhhh, the joys of Motherhood. And to think I'm gonna start all over again!!!!! : )




(My first baby. Isn't he handsome?!!?)







Many blessings ~ Wendy

He's just as cute as cute can be...maybe a bit put out by a change in his world...but still your beautiful boy! I remember being 16 and quite upset with my parents for starting another family. I was a real pill. But, what a blessing when the little guy arrived! Hugs! Coralie

Dear Wendy....

I'm so sorry to hear about your two losses....I lost my Mum the day after Christmas last year...and could still "cry at the drop of a hat"....I miss her so much.

What a cute kid....and funny too. Sounds like he has a great sense of humor.

Sending you hugs,
Spencer
