Desperately Seeking Shelly

When I was young I loved to watch my Mom. I watched her get ready in the morning. I watched her do devotions and make breakfast. I watched (and frequently interrupted) her talking on the phone-you get the picture.

I was just usually near her.

And now I see my own children--hovering like little satellites in orbit around me--watching me get dressed, cook dinner, check my email, watching me change diapers, watching me clean, watching me get the mail etc and so on....

In fact, the other day I was checking my email and took this picture of them--

sitting there

smiling

and staring at me...

And it made me feel grown up and all parental like.

I'm glad they like being near me cause I really really like being near them too.
