I don't think I've had cabin fever like this before. Maybe having sheep and goats was a blessing...<BR/><BR/>Kisses,<BR/>LMrs. Pattingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10332130392336228286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4431174338782485222.post-68236994670454133362008-02-01T08:19:00.000-08:002008-02-01T08:19:00.000-08:00Thank you so much Aunt Denise!

This last summer when we had that conversation about mothering and how my mom helped you, really made me think. A lot of us moms go through this and it helps to share our stories. I am glad that you are enjoying my hobby! <BR/><BR/>xoxo<BR/>kellyElitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11241595754038870322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4431174338782485222.post-68153372082320668212008-02-01T07:38:00.000-08:002008-02-01T07:38:00.000-08:00Hi Kelly, just wanted to tell you how much I enjo...Hi Kelly, just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy reading your blog. You have a gift (one of many) for writing in a down to earth, easy to read style and I've shared the pics of your boys with Bob and he agrees that they are sooo cute/handsome. (Henry probably prefers handsome?) <BR/> Also, it's refreshing to read about another mom who goes through some of the "uncomfortable maternal feelings" that we often don't know what to do with - deny them? - hope they just go away? carry them around feeling guilty?- pretend they were something we dreamt (on the days when things are soooo good that we couldn't have ever felt one negative thing about our lives, right?)<BR/> I know I'm an emptynester and not currently experiencing what your motherly days are now but it is still there and the regrets and the whatifs and the guilt - you know, alll the stuff that goes along with being a mom who truly cares..... loving is a bittersweet activity .... reading about the snippets of your life that you share makes me smile and feel that Matt and Henry and Ezra are verrrry lucky young men.<BR/> sending a hug love Aunt DeniseDenisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07566510040860128876noreply@blogger.com
