Young Men

While Caleb, Zach, Seth and Ethan have not spent much time together in the last 10 years, I remember the days when these boys created memories I'm not likely to forget.  Like the time Caleb and Zach, at the age of nearly 3, decided to walk themselves to the playground while their mothers changed little brother diapers and lost track of time (and them).  I remember adventures in the woods, muddy creek play, birthday parties and trips to the fire station, and a slew of other great times.  Times when these tall guys ran around as little boys with toy guns and balls and made their mama's smile. 

Lynne and I smiled again as we shared each other's company a few weeks ago. It's never hard to jump right in.  The company of an old friend is always easy, and oh so good.  And as if time has never lapsed... that is, until I look at our children.  It was fun to shoot pics of these towering, once little boys, as we attempted to make our teenagers smile together for old times sake.  And that wasn't easy, considering all the metal in their mouths - all four of them are in braces:)

Some things never change, like old connections and the memories that encircle them.  That's a good thing... especially since the young men in our lives aren't about to stop changing.   

Love you, friend!
