Growing up!

After reading the nice post on Amy's blog I decided to let you all know that your kids probably do appreciate the things you do. Maybe they are too young to articulate just yet. A few weeks back I was working around and Jacob was doing several jobs also. Finally, I told him that I was going to owe him big time and he asked what for. I told him it was for all he had done that day and he responded with a question. " how long have I lived in this home?" 16 years. "exactly, I could never make up for all that you have done for me, and Dad? he's the best." I admit I got a little teary-eyed and told him that all we did we did for love and he told me that he did what he did for love too! After I had made the cinnamon rolls last week Jonathon asked if I would make them again sometime and I said, "yes, but I can't guarantee when." Since I had time a couple days later I made them and when he came in that evening he asked what was in the oven. When I told him it was cinnamon rolls his response was, "already? WOW!" He is a man of few words! Anyway, our job as mom/wife is important and we will be rewarded someday! p.s don't you just HATE it when people ask what you do with your time!?
