Emerson loved the rocking and I'm sure had his dreams come even close to what you're conveying here, he'd never want to wake up . Its always such a treat having you and the family home, to what once was a home to generations of your family long passed. I know what you mean about having a difficult time falling asleep at Mom and Dad's. It has an air of acute energy that is hard not to feel. It doesn't lift easily or quickly; especially if you are in tune to all of the happenings that have gone on there over many generations. We are always blessed having you at our table, and I hope Emerson will grow knowing, loving, and appreciating you as much as we all do! Peace on your travels to come and a lot of love is heading with you over the curve of the earth. Love you, Rin Okay Jenn,

Sadness mixed with excitement (and a little envy) as I watched your van dissappear on Dixie Highway. Wish I was going along with you to visit your folks. Funny how this old house brings many generations together. I will make sure your aunt Maggie makes it to Brule this year. Hugs to everyone! Kristine I love you and your family so much.

I only have to wonder if I'd had this posted on my wall twelve years ago when I became a mom if I would have heeded it. Sometimes you just have to learn it the hard way but I hope any new moms out there will keep this in mind as they feel their way through motherhood. Well said!

On the other side there's screaming "mum, the dog is eating the breakfast!" and just now my 17 year old presented me with froot loops and icy cold milk in bed (tent) for mothers day!!

As a child I didn't get much space, so as soon as I graduated from college I took it for myself. Moving to the west coast, then onto Hungary - tomorrow we will celebrate 6 years on our homestead. The rest of my family still lives nearly next door to each other, I am glad to be the one that got away. My advice as a child to a parent - always watch out for the quiet ones :) Thanks for such a wonderful post! You brought tears to my eyes at #9.

Thank you. I love the bit about barefoot kids with their masks and capes and the store. :> Motherhood is not for the faint of heart. I would add to your list of parenting books the ones written by people who's kids are still under ten or by parents whose adult children have disowned them.
