Because You're Mine

A few days ago while the boys and I were getting ready for work, I looked up at them sitting at the breakfast table and said, "OH, do I LOVE you boys!"  Entertainingly, Dane responded with something that sounded like, "Why??"  So I rolled with it...  I told them, "I love you so much because you're MINE."  Their eyes widened and they sat there for a few seconds soaking in what I had said.  Not knowing if any of it had "taken", I continued on with preparations for the day.  Shortly I heard Jacob say from the far end of the table, "Mom, I love you, too," and I thought that would be the end of it.  But he continued, "because you're MINE."  What a sweet boy!

And because very few blog posts should ever go without a photo...  :)
here's one from Easter.  They are creating some piece of art on Grandma Merry's chalkboard.  I just giggle when I see this pic.
Have a beautiful day!
