Teenie, I am so proud of you and I love you so much. You are a great mom and a great daughter. It’s a normal thing to worry so about your children. The boys will be okay with you and Dicky parenting the way you do.
Love Mom

Hi Kristine!
I enjoyed reading this, something to look forward to. caleb is 8 and conor is 6 and chloe is just about 3. I remember, like Rich said riding around all over the place (on boys handelbars) – my parents had no clue where I was. I was usually hanging around southport, going on the tires to eat all the candy we got at wt hen, or walking along the rr tracks, or climbing on the rocks at the lake (could you imagine your kids doing some of the things we all did!) I remember going on the roof of southport school with Mike Rhode and some other boys. Well keep blogging, I’ll read some more next time I stay up late : ) Sara

Hey Rich! Are you kidding me? Of course you were one of the cool kids I was referring to! Those were the days, huh? Hard to believe that so much time has past. I vividly remember riding on Corey’s handlebars, going down to the lake with you and Jim, Wilson. I think about Jim and Shane all of the time. I saw Wilson last summer!

“You remember cruising around town on your bike with the cool kids”… Was that just Corey Hudson and Lenny Rauen or did it include the rest of us (Mike, Wilson, Shane, Jimmy, and I)…? Ha ha ha… None of us probably had to get permission to go hang out on your porch and eat Girl Scout cookies all day though huh… Times were different back then, I hear Kenosha is now a scarier place than it was when we grew up…

Another great entry KC. Kind of brought tears to my eyes thinking of those days to come. You are a great mom and you do have two really great boys! So, whatever you are doing it’s working! Those teenage years that lie ahead…piece a cake…cupcake that is!!

Ugh!! My palms are sweaty just thinking about those days to come! We are so alike as far as this stuff goes, Kristine!
Good for you for being able to let him go on his merry way with his buddies. I am so positive that even though he may not verbalize it, he trusts your judgement and loves you for caring so much!
