I quite often get like this standing by our living room windows looking at the hills and think of all the things I have to be grateful for. All those precious times with Jake seem like one big lump of memories that has hopefully contributed to who he will be as a man. I do like to zoom in on some of those and just smile about when he was my baby. I was just going to see if you were entering the Dare this month! We are on the same wave length again! I love the banners and where you placed the sentiment :) LOVE! oxMaureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18207530032440129282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1013801691278378572.post-41589891663141705832013-04-28T11:21:33.269-04:002013-04-28T11:21:33.269-04:00I treasure those moments too, and tuck them away i...I treasure those moments too, and tuck them away in my mommy heart.

There is excitement for him as he grows into a wonderful young man but also a bit of sadness as he ventures out on his own. *sigh* Some of my favorite moments have come from the conversations I've had in the car with both my boys. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your thoughts - the balls strewn around your yard look very familiar - I'll actually miss picking them up! <br /><br />Your card is so pretty!
