Why thanks, Andy. And I barely took time to comb my hair either. LOL>>>

Mike,

You and "grandma" Hicks are very blessed! Can sure tell where the great looks come from . . . .

Our family has been through similar stuff . . . knowing what we now know . . . . we would've preferred to skip the kids and go directly to the grandkids. 'Course, it doesn't work that way . . . .>>>

Thanks Patty :)>>>

Mike, same here. A virgin at 18 & a mother 19. Told me right away, I had my 20 minute tyraid and nothing but love & attention there after. The kids are great, I wouldn't change a thing....OK I lied, the kids can stay the guys can go, I hope she takes a vacation. 10 year old getting into the prissy stage and the 5 year old a true tomboy. She's spending the day with Grandma today. I hope my dogwood tree can survive another climb. The cats will spend the day behind the couch. :S You'll have your stories to tell in months and years to come. Enjoy!!>>>

You're a lucky man Mike. :)>>>

"Kids can be taught right from wrong but at the end of the day they make their own decisions.I've seen siblings who were raised under the same roof and had been taught the same values, one becomes a big shot lawyer the other ends up in jail.Poor parents are blamed when things go wrong." I can't help but wonder what went wrong there. And no clue which son the family was most ashamed of either. :unsure:>>>
