I have pictures of them on my bulletin board and when my college friends ask me who they are I have to refrain from going into long drawn out descriptions of how lovely they are! I really can't picture my college guy friends understanding how awesome Anna and Colin are unless they get the chance to meet them. Especially the first time Anna says something purely innocent and blunt to them. (You know how Anna is!) haha. Aww, I miss them! <BR/><BR/>I hope everything is going well. Be safe! :)Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07478352234045865609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10715455.post-1129643865919871772005-10-18T08:57:00.000-05:002005-10-18T08:57:00.000-05:00Sounds like you had a lovely day.

I do remember when Anna started attending her school... she excelled(and still is) in everything the teachers taught her.<BR/><BR/>She's so smart!<BR/><BR/>Colin is growing up TOO fast! He's turning into a little boy before my very eyes! <BR/><BR/>I'm with you,Jenn, do they REALLY have to grow up? <BR/><BR/>Love-Bevie-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10715455.post-1129634200800603942005-10-18T06:16:00.000-05:002005-10-18T06:16:00.000-05:00That's a very lovely post Jenn.

I really admire the way you balance everything so well (home, work, children, play etc), I sometimes struggle coping with just one child (and I'm a full time housewife). I think it's so great that your rec centre has childcare facilities, we don't really have that here in Runcorn!! I try to swim three or four times a week and I have to fit that in by going at 7.00am before Rich goes to work so that he can look after Lukey. But children are such a blessing aren't they! Luke has some absolutely terrible tantrums (he's 2 and 3 months!!) he also has a very upsetting habit of hitting out when he gets frustrated! I find it really hard at times! But then the majority of the time he is such a beautiful, thoughtful and clever little boy it kind of makes up for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10715455.post-1129629562250426292005-10-18T04:59:00.000-05:002005-10-18T04:59:00.000-05:00Yes ,Bev, and it shows :o) you are all so fortunat...Yes ,Bev, and it shows :o) you are all so fortunate to have each other...my Family split up to all corners of the World...now I get pleasure just reading about them...xxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10715455.post-1129609926491401472005-10-17T23:32:00.000-05:002005-10-17T23:32:00.000-05:00Yeah, time passes.

What an thoughtful post Jenn.<BR/>I can remember times in N.Y. when you were the only child we had and how neat it was to see your smarts and to show you how some things in this life work.<BR/> At about 2 years old you were terribly afraid of ants and at one time when we were walking to Alley Pond Park just by Union Tpke in Queens......( it was a block or two from our house) I had to keep showing you they were not dangerous. Unlike the Texas ants, these particular ones we saw that day were not bitters!<BR/>That was the park where you always would go peep like Mungo...... at 2 you were trained to tell us when the pottie was needed!<BR/>I am so glad you are aware that these times are fleeting. One of the memorable quotes from your Nana when Mommy was asking her about her life was that she thought her kids would be around her forever.....and it ain't so!<BR/>I'm adding here (your Mom) ah, yes the time goes so quickly. Seems like yesterday you were our first shining star and Emily our beautiful second and Stephanie our lovely third. Your thoughts describe so well what make the fabric of parents memories - so all consuming now for you and so long ago for us. <BR/>We love our children and our grandchildren ....
