Gavey

Oh Gavin. My baby. My wild man. I rarely have a clue what Gavin is up to. Since the day he was born Gavin Carl Eugene Harness has done exactly what he wanted. He is always "up to" something. He tells stories about things he couldn't have possibly done but wants everyone to play along. He is the first to hug and in the next breath is ready to punch. He wants to do exactly what Cameron does but with his very own twist. Gavey makes everyone laugh. When he finally knocks out after a long day of work, he snuggles into me and I breath in deep his sweet baby-boy smell.

Cameron

My middle child. I know its not "cool" to label children, but it is what it is...Cameron my darling boy, loving, kind, energetic, funny, silly, intense, quick to laugh and quick to cry. Cameron is taking school by the horns and proving to be not only a superb student but also a good citizen. Friend to all. Cameron is on the go and then when he's done he curls up with his Mom and crashes. Many interesting posts will be made about Cameron I am sure.

Jake

This is my oldest son Jake. I tease he is my favorite. I think I feel that way sometimes because he is grown and because he makes me so proud. He knows what he wants a gets it. He is far and away cooler than I ever could have thought of being. He is intelligent and hilarious and opinionated and full of himself. I simply adore him and wait in anticipation of what comes next.

Betsy

My friend gave me a dog yesterday. Her name is Betsy and I have known her for many years. I wasn't sure about getting a dog. I worried it would be too much work and I really worried she wouldn't like the boys. As it turns out she may have been better for my mental health than a truckload of Xanax. She sits where I sit. She goes where I go. She wants me to rub and scratch her little belly and moves my hand with her paw to ensure that I hit the right spots. She tolerates the wild men. She sleeps on my pillow with me. Oh I am so glad she came to me.
