I always knew that I wanted my children to be independent. I wanted them to be their own person and not always rely on ryan and me. I think that they turned out a little too independent. Its not uncommon to see Preston making himself a peanut butter sandwich or pouring himself a glass of milk. Hailey has walked in his footsteps. I have found her on the fridge eating the hidden chocolate chips. A few months ago Preston told us that he wanted to take a shower. So up he went! Last week made me feel a little better. I told Haily to get some clothes for me to dress her and she came down in pants with a skirt over them...no shirt. It makes me feel better when they fall and call my name. Or need an extra hug. Being independent is great, but being their mom and being needed is even better.

Mary, Mary...you're kids are like their mom! At least, that sounds like you when we were growing up. You know what I remembered the other day? How you, me and Tim would hide in each others cars when it came time go go home to Hermiston or Vancouver. Our parents would get sooo mad!I remember when Tim hid in the back for 45 minutes before he jumped up, and my dad had to drive all the way back...good times. We really were a handful.
