Sometimes I re...I've been thinking of you too. Sometimes I realize that I think about you and your boys more often than I think of my own long distance relatives. <br /><br />My 2 daughters each have 2 sons between the ages of 3 and 5. Do you realize that I've used your own dear family for advice... such as... It's NORMAL for them to talk about that kind of stuff.. they are BOYS (being a girl, my youngest daughter is disturbed by talk about stinky butts, farts, poop, butts, and stinky everything, as well as nostril investigation and nose to sleeve contact during colds.) <br /><br />That daughter happens to be named Angela, lol. <br /><br />My other daughter (her oldest is 5, so she's a more seasoned veteran) believes that there is NO way to stop that kind of talk, except to say... "We don't talk about farts in church - only at home. We don't talk about poop at Uncle Joe's - only at home."<br /><br />I encourage them to read your blog for insights into boys and being outnumbered by the testosterone. My youngest has the 2 boys, a 9 month old GIRL, and is pregnant with another boy. At this point she is figuring that she needs to adopt a bunch of girls to get some more estrogen to counter-balance all of the super heroes and stinky butt talk.Anniehttp://somethingsneedsaid.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40716328257111525.post-13515283744209244912009-12-30T04:10:54.814-06:002009-12-30T04:10:54.814-06:00I've been thinking of you all.

My first after DH1 passed away was so horible that I didn't take the tree down until after January 15th.<br />Hang in there and lean on our Saviour.<br />Love ya, Karen W. in S.W.

Wondering how you were doing on "the first Christmas" <br /><br />I'm glad you were able to surrond yourself with family and friends and of course your boys. <br /><br />This Christmas was my second Christmas without Shawn, and while it was not easy it was 'better' than last year. I again went to Shawn's families house on Christmas Eve. Again, it was easier than last year, but still not good. It is so hard being there without him....something is missing...someone is missing and for me as long as I go there someone will always be missing. No matter what happens in the future someone will always be missing...at least for me.<br /><br />And you are right...sometimes the missing is just more obvious than other times.<br /><br />Hope you are doing well and know that I'm thinking about you.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06981082337594834904noreply@blogger.com
