I have been so blessed to be surrounded with such wonderful (although sometimes wacky) guys. This is handsome son, Shawn, all ready to leave for Zach and Amanda's wedding.
And this is with my baby, Ryan, ready to board a plane that takes him back to Ft. Knox, Kentucky to continue his basic training. I miss both these boys (sometimes I think Shawn lives somewhere else--but occasionally he rushes past me with a cup of coffee in his hand in the wee hours of the morning so I know he still lives here.)
And then there is Eric and the woman who replaced me! But I am not bitter that she stole him away since she provided me with three handsome grandsons and a very girly granddaughter.
Of course, then there is Brent, the first of my sons to be stolen from me--but Tiff was quickly forgiven because she gave me my very first granddaughter and then three wonderful grandsons.
My firstborn, Carl, who shares our love of camping, is forgiven for moving so far away because he keeps giving me delightful grandchildren, including a granddaughter (are we seeing a theme here?)
Oliver, the newest man of my life, keeps things lively!
And my #1 guy, the one guy who has promised never to leave me--my honey for the past 41 years! Here we are on a wonderful weekend in Williamsburg, finding that there is life after kids!All kidding aside, I am very grateful for the four wonderful women the Lord has brought into my sons' lives. Thank you for being the best helpmates they could have found!
