Wild at Heart!

My boys are "wild at heart".  They are full of passion!  They put 100% into pursuing the things that they love.  They are adventurous!  They love risks!  They have very little fear.  When Ethan and Elijah were babies Dylan and I talked about the day that they would be ready for bigger adventures.  They would need Daddy to take them camping.  They would need to explore.  And one day the day would come when they were ready to leave Mommy.  The mere thought of that would always bring tears to my eyes!  Well, a few Saturdays ago ended up being "that day" for Ethan and Elijah!  We originally tossed around the idea of a family campout in the backyard which eventually turned into a camping trip at Twin Lakes with just Daddy, Ethan and Elijah!  I knew this day would come.  I want my boys to be happy and have more fun than they can imagine.  I want to allow them to fulfill the needs they have as little boys.  At the same time, I just can't believe how quickly my little boys are growing up!  They were so excited to go swimming and camp with Daddy and thats all that matters. So instead of thinking about missing them or how quickly they had grown up or if they would be okay I busied myself packing up their Mario backpacks with the things they would need and then they loaded up and headed out!  In a way, I was sad that I was not out there with them.  On the other hand, I knew that they were in great hands and would be having a blast.  This summer is the beginning of my babies turning into big boys!  I have no idea what to expect.  I have no idea what other "firsts" they will be experiencing this summer.  In a huge way, I am freaked out!  I am a planner!  I like to know what's going to happen next. I am learning, slowly, to take things one day at a time.  The big picture is overwhelming.  So for now I'm enjoying each day as it comes.  I love my boys!
