3 kids...

I am so struck by the fact that all three of my beautiful children are so different. They are all adorable in the "looks" area (not partial at all), but that is NOT what I am talking about.

Examples:

Mike my oldest is my SPORTS kid. He lives, breathes and sports consume him. He shows love outwardly very easily and all the time. He is almost 12 years old but will come out of the dugout to kiss me on the lips and hug me when he's just made a BIG play, catch or hit. He loves pinching my FATROLL, yes, fatroll to bug me but he always pinches it and says the same thing "mom, i love your fatroll...it's from me being in ur belly!" I have made comments like "mom is going to get a tummy tuck" and he screams "NO your not!!" Makes me smile inside and out!

Mckenzie is ALL girl and ALL me! So needless to say we buttheads! She is so passionate, loud, expressive, dramatic, daddy's girl and SINGS ALL THE TIME!

Again, I am not in denial of the fact that she is me thru and thru!! Mckenzie has been the child that has surprised me the most through our seperation. She is the one that if she has questions, she asks! If she is sad, she crys. If she is mad, she yells. I am very proud of the girl that she is becoming. She wants alot of "cuddle" time with me now and I am soaking it up!! She is athletic but really does not have the "self" drive that her big brother has, but she is FAST so she better go all the way and never give up!! I am so proud of my mini me!

Zach is my BABY! In all sense of the word. Baby boy! I spoil him rotten and he gets away with murder. His eyelashes are as long as his arms and melts me. He is my music lover. When a good guitar rift plays on the radio or tv...he's working that air guitar like no ones business! He worships his brother and is the BAT BOY for life for any/all Mike's teams. Yes, he is a catcher on his own baseball team but gives more effort as batboy! :) Zach is jealous of anyone that wants my attention and I won't lie...I EAT IT UP! Zach is the one that can lay in my bed with me and we can watch Rocky 1, 2, 3 and eat snacks and he will lay there all day with his mom.

All three of my gifts from God are angels on earth! They are not perfect, so don't let me fool you!

Mike: Loses everything that is NOT attached to him! (hints why he is the only boy in the whole wide world that doesnt have a cell phone!:)

Mckenzie: HER MOUTH! She thinks she knows it all (again, dont need to remind me that she is like her mother, thank you!)

Zach: Pouts! I love it, drives his dad nuts! :(

I miss them dearly right this second and would love a hug, pinch and a kiss right this second. Thank you God for making them just for me and my heart. GOD IS A LOVING AND WONDERFUL GOD!!

Grateful mom here!
