Alex

When I ask him to try to say a word, he gives that little smirk.
I love that he loves my cooking.
Sleeps in that headset and I sneak in around midnight,
slip it off and kiss his forehead.
When he's feeling shy, he looks up at the ceiling.
Baby of the family by 30 seconds and a mama's boy.
Sweet young man of mine.

    So much love in those words. Just beautiful. And he looks so cute in the pictures. Is he looking at you? Nothing is greater than a mother's love.

    Thanks for sharing this with us.

    God bless.

    Thanks, Silver. There's a new one of Taylor on the sidebar, too! :)

    Thanks, MrsU ~ I'm snapping the photos, yes. He's my shadow in the kitchen...doing chores and peeking in the oven. ha.

    This is nice. I would like to know them better. But I still don't think I could tell them apart.

    Silver ~ yeah, Taylor's the perfect tall-dark-and-handsome. Sigh. Of course, I'm his mom, so naturally I'd think that. lol...

    I think you're really sweet
    and the rude cat is just a cover for all you meet. ha.

    Speaking of killing birds,
    Marmy was inside today for a visit
    and got the bird cage door open and caused a fit.

    I'm the same way, my headphones are constantly on. I only take them off to sleep because they're uncomfortable. It seems like you have a really good relationship with him, this whole post had me smiling from start to finish.

    Since my Dearest, is not a "blog person", from time to time I have to share some of my blog friends with him.

    I have shared the boys several times with him, when you have posted pictures or stories, but tonight, when I share the pictures of Alex and your sweet words, he had a tear...it touched him to the heart.

    How we love your boys, and the marvelous parents you are to them. The baby by 30 seconds. I love that!!!

    WOW, Taylor is so handsome and his girlfriend, lovely!!!

    Hi Betsy,

    I was reading the comments and then went to see the new picture of Taylor and I am not sure if it is just me or if others see it too, but I once was looking at a boy and now I am looking at a man. It is like he has just suddenly grown up into this very handsome young man and has lost all his boyish looks.

    Maybe it is his beautiful girlfriend but I think it is just him. He is a very nice looking dude. Psst, don't tell him I said that.

    God bless.

    I was just looking back at some of your old posts. I love the posts about the boys. I was laughing because Parker wears headphones to bed and I try and take them off while he's sleeping. It look so uncomfortable and it gives him crazy hair. Too funny.<3
