Still Enchanted

Okay, maybe the word's not enchanted, but it's close to that- this life with boys.  It's been almost thirteen years now and I remain smitten, grateful, aware and in love with them. 
I was thinking just yesterday how much I enjoy the boys, and then I realized just how long I've felt this way...since they were born.  There is no exaggeration here.   Each and every day I look at them and feel such awe, such joy, such complete and utter satisfaction with them that it is something to write about.  They are beautiful children inside and out, and are sooooo easy to be with.  I had to stop and write this - because it is so easy to take for granted now that they are getting so big - that my delight in being their mom remains epically high, and my appreciation for all that they offer me is constant.
