    Pattie says:

    You are so right to do all you can to find the time to spend with your kiddos now because they grow up soooo fast, and suddenly the now becomes the past! Oh can I remember the late night put in at the sewing machine, or paper and painting rooms or refinishing furniture. And yes the sleepless night was well worth it!!!! Now those little guys are having their own kiddos and learning first hand the meaning of “a good kind of tired”!!! :)
