The lost boys....

Sometimes I feel like Owen and Ross are the lost boys. The other day I had someone who was totally shocked that I had OTHER kids... they thought Ky was our only one. It made me think about how everyone hears so much about Ky that the boys fall into the background. I wish they did not but sometimes its unavoidable. Owen has been spending the night with Meha (troy's mom) and Sabrina (troy's sister) for two nights and yesterday was a crazy morning here but today I think about how by fall my house will be a lot quieter without Owen around all the time. I also thought about how I only have a few more months with him being my baby that I can see anytime I want! He is a big boy and getting ready to head off to school!!!

Funny story: Today Ross brought his trick or treat bag downstairs (have no idea where he found it!) and said... "Mom we need to go shopping at all the people's houses for candy... Roscoe needs candy!"....

I about died laughing! He was talking about trick or treating.... funny how much they remember. I have been able to fool myself into thinking that it was okay to spend so much time away from the boys because "they will never remember"... this proves to me that I am wrong. As funny as it was it made me sad... because that was probably the last thing he remembers as a happy family time together.

I can totally relate to the madness.. When my kids were little I use to feel bad also. Now, I am glad to get away from them... No, really if anything it has made them more resilient. This is life as we know it.... They actually enjoy going to the hospital and look forward too it. Are they strange?? Well, yeah a lot!!! But, they like the attention they get too, they love child life, they love the nurses, and they love to play with the other kids in the playroom. Don't worry about them, however mine are little older then yours,perhaps if I mess up, I will tell you my mistakes! But, so far they seem to be pretty well rounded..... However, my opinion is bias!!
Love and hugs to you all.....
