Something cute! My kids are all in Germany with their father,

[crim son]

and I've been hearing that my youngest misses me. The little guy is almost ten and having two teenage siblings he's lewd, rude and generally disruptive. Anyhow, Kira, my daughter, writes to tell me that he's been taking to bed a teddy bear I gave him years ago, and before sleeping, kisses it and asks it to make sure that "Mama gets (his) love." Even my daughter was like, "Awwwww..."

I sort of miss them. :P Here's a recent pic of my wee boy, just to give you a mental image:



Thanks for reading. The boys will be gone for six weeks and it's starting to feel empty around here.

[crim son]

1. Apparently you people don't know cute when you see it.

In other news, I'm drunk and posting nekkid! :eyes:

[TK421]

2. Great looking kids you have there crim son.....obviously, they take it from

their mother! AM I RIGHT?

[crim son]

4. Well, YEAH!

Or, well, no. My ex was a pretty boy in his youth, all fine bones and manly stance. But H gets his eyes from me. :P And THANK YOU for responding! I love you even more than usual, for understanding. :loveya:

[TK421]

12. Well...you ARE my online fantasy....

:D

[crim son]

14. Dude, whatchoo smoking and can I have some?

Pretty please?

[Aristus]

22. *stumble* *dramatic double-take*

...drunk...posting nekkid... :wow:


Somebody help me...

...air...I need air...

[crim son]

25. Yeh. I was WONDERING where you were.

No really. I was! :hug:

[Aristus]

32. So you posted that in order to draw me out into the open, huh?

It worked...


I'm STILL imagining it... :evilgrin:

[LynzM]

3. He has very striking eyes...

I can't imagine 6 weeks alone... :hug:

[crim son]

5. Thank you, LynzM.

I was distressed not to have him praised. Yeah, it's a bit lonely. It's also a bit neat and tidy. :P :hi:

[LynzM]

31. Oooh....

Neat and tidy sounds lovely! Can I get some of that? :rofl:

:hi:

[LiberalAndProud]

6. Your son is very handsome.

And it's lovely that he still needs his mommy. It will be a long six weeks for you I'm sure.

It will be a wonderful reunion at the end of the summer, though.

[crim son]

7. I hope so!

When he gets back, he's getting his own room which I know he'll love. His brother may love it more, however.

[newcriminal]

8. He is truly beautiful.

My 7 year old daughter was away for 11 hours today and when I picked her up she said "whew, Mommy I didn't think I could be without you that long." Six weeks would probably kill us both. Hope you make the most of your time while they are away, and hope he has a wonderful time in Germany.

[crim son]

9. Thank you, newcriminal.

I remember when eleven hours was a lifetime! I think it's very important for kids to see the world so I I was very happy to let mine go with their father to Germany. It's their second trip and I hope there are many more. But... I miss their fluffy cuteness. Your daughter sounds lovely! Give her a kiss. :hi:

[Tuesday Afternoon]

10. he is sure enough a cutie...and sweet as pie

I know you miss them :hug:

[auntAgonist]

11. What a cutie! No matter how old our boys get

they always need their Moms. They just don't often admit that.

:)

I hate it when the house is so quiet for a long period of time. I'm having to adjust to being alone every night. My husband and I are now on opposite shifts and I hate it. :(

No kids at home anymore. All grown up and living far away.

I hope your 6 weeks goes by as fast as you need them too. Enjoy some time for yourself though.

13. Deutschland, Deutschland, ubber alles.

Have the boy take me up some Spaten Optimator.

[Swede]

15. You have a cute kid there crim son.

My nephew and niece are in Germany right now,also. A town called Lahr,where there mother was from.

[crim son]

17. Cool!

Ih the past (when we were married) we'd go to St. Goar on the Rhine where my ex's mother is from, and Munich where the ex did his graduate studies. I love it in both areas, but the kids have been in Berlin and don't like it as much. I'm wondering where Lahr is. Will look it up.

[handmade34]

16. handsome young man

and boy they grow up fast... sons are the best (don't tell my daughters)

[crim son]

18. I have a daughter, the oldest (she's eighteen).

In so many ways she's just perfect, but we tend to be in an endless contest with one another - I know not what is the prize. This fall she goes to college and I have very mixed feelings about seeing her go. At bottom, I admire the hell out of her when I admire few people. Maybe that's the problem. :P

And I have two sons who are manageable even when they're at their worst. I am so very lucky...!

[handmade34]

21. so difficult to see them go off to college

I've watched 5 go... my last will be a junior at the University of Vermont this fall- studying, of all things... philosophy. I shamelessly offer up his pictue (he's in the middle) The small picture is last Halloween- I helped him make the costume

[crim son]

24. Philosophy?

It doesn't necessarily fly in the workplace but it does suggest your boy is something special. He's also a fine-looking young man and I love that he's running. My oldest boy runs although he's only just about to be a junior in HS.

I can't imagine having seen five children leave but I can imagine the tapestry of memories you have, and your future, bright with family and more family.

Life. It's a ride, isn't it?

[WildEyedLiberal]

19. He's a gorgeous boy

You're very lucky crim son :)

[crim son]

20. Well, he's certainly a cutie.

My ex and I joke that when he was born he was so *unattractive* that we didn't want anybody to see him... this after two beautiful babies! But he's turned out to be a handsome and brilliant young man. I am lucky, and thank you. :D

[Aristus]

23. You have beautiful children, crimmy.

It's not hard to see why... :loveya:


....if TK421 doesn't stop flirting with you, I'm gonna have to hurt him...



B-)

[crim son]

26. TK421 doesn't flirt with me enough!

I love to see you jealous. :P

I'm regularly surprised by how lovely my kids are. I remember being young - college age - and at home, maybe getting ready for a party or something. I'd feel my father's eyes on me and would turn to see a look in his eyes... Now I understand. There is nothing more breathtaking than one's own children.

Sometimes getting old ain't so bad.

[handmade34]

27. you articulate that so well

"...nothing more breathtaking than one's own children" sometimes I imagine others think me a bit daft because that is exactly the way I feel: seeing my children is breathtaking, and oh.. grandchildren. I have one grandaughter and I fear sometimes that that will be it.

[crim son]

29. Not at all daft.

I totally understand and I look to my grandchildren with... reverence. If one were to imagine a God, one would also imagine that our progeny is our gift for survival.

I hope for you another grandchild.

[Aristus]

33. For years I heard people talking about how beautiful their children were.

Especially babies. I never saw it. Babies were babies. Sometimes cute; sometimes disgusting; that was it.

Then my first grandson was born. (Remember, I have no children of my own, and all of my grandkids are steps.) Yep. He was cute. And sometimes disgusting. Then he got to be about six months old. He lost his baby acne, and his plucked chicken look. I came home from work one day. He saw me, and his eyes brightened and he smiled at me, and my breath was taken away. I swear I'd never seen anything so beautiful in my life. I was transformed. I was one of "them". One of the besotted legion, who talked endlessly about how beautiful their kids or grandkids were. And I'm not ashamed to say so. :-)

[Dystopian]

28. What a beautiful boy : )

He looks so angelic in this photo...Apparently he's got a bit of the imp in him... :o
I used to call my youngest an imp...and he was the sweetest little boy...
Now my baby is 27...The years pass so quickly.

Thankfully, you have a few years before you have an empty nest...
Now I have a grandson around your son's age...

Thank you for sharing...such a sweet story about the Teddy...:hug:
Enjoy your alone time... they'll be having an exciting time, and will be home soon.

peace~

[crim son]

30. Yours is the sweetest response.

I can tell you get it. Thank you! :hug:

[mainegreen]

34. Awwwww indeed.

:D

[GreenPartyVoter]

35. What a cutie! He looks older than 9, though. :^) *hugs*

[joeybee12]

36. Aw! Then go visit them! I'll tag along...

...it's been 3 years since I've been to Europe after about a four-year span of going twice each year...God, how I miss it.

[Bertha Venation]

37. that almost made me cry

How sweet, crim son. :hug:

[cwydro]

38. What a beautiful boy he is Crimmie!

Wow, he's gonna be a knockout!

[Wapsie B]

39. Goodness, I think he'll break a few hearts in his day.

Just like his mom. ;-) Very handsome son you have.

[snooper2]

40. WOW, you should never let him watch the movie AI

He might have a lot of confusing questions :evilgrin:
