Some Assembly Always Required!

Some Assembly ALWAYS Required:

As our children grow up and move to all parts of the world, I try to stay connected.  Thankfully, we are blessed with computers, Iphones, Skype and blogs.   As we continue to parent Barry in our home, we all partner to find time to come together - no matter the miles. 

This past week we traveled from Chicago to Oklahoma...half way to Dallas....to visit with Brett for three days of boating!  These frequent visits help Barry stay connected with Brett, and for Brett to know and understand Barry.  The highlight of the visit was an afternoon of tubing on a lake.  The boys used a large float built for two and we loved hearing Barry belly laugh as we attempted to dump them.  We finally rolled Barry into the lake; and watched as Brett jumped from the float to swim back to his brother so that he was protected in the lake until we could bring the boat back around to pick them up.

It's so nice to see children protecting each other.  We will not be here to protect our children forever, so instilling that quality in all our children is a small gift to celebrate!

  1. It is obvious that this topic is very near and dear to your heart! It is easy to get an idea of your feelings, your hopes, and your worries when it comes to your son. I think that we all write best when we write about things that are personal to us. Pictures always help of course; for me, they make the story more interesting and add color to the overall look of the webpage.
    I would like to see some more functionality; there is very little on this blog that lets me interact. “A good blog is much more than a diary with comments. It allows for you to interact with the content, and makes your experience much more enjoyable.” (Martin, 2012).
