June 23

This morning when I was getting ready, Rob and the kids were all downstairs. Rob came up and left the three kids alone, which is usually a no, no. The result is almost always Ry and Luke crying and Jake in top of one of them. Me being the paranoid mom ran downstairs to prevent any unforeseen disaster. Instead of chaos I was greeted by an unusual sight. Ry was sitting in the chair holding Luke, laughing and Jake was sitting by himself smiling at them. Apparently Luke was giving Ry some of his lovely, wet kisses and Ry was tickling him and laughing. Jake, wanting to be included was sitting back laughing at both of them. It was one of those memories that will be etched in my mind forever. All three of my kids smiling and laughing, taking care of eachother. Ry was the leader, but Jake and Luke were right there with her. Suddenly, I realized that no matter what happens in this life, those three will always be there for eachother. At that moment I was so full of pride for my three kids and Rob. He had the foresight to trust and let go way before me.
