George's dad came over last night and was asking about Jake and his little family.  It was so cool to sit and talk with Greg about watching your kids grow into adults and how amazing it can be, how it makes you sometimes just stop dead in your tracks.  I think to myself, how did this happen? Where did the years go?  Was it really that fast? Yes, it goes very fast.  It's funny to sit and watch your child and see so many of your own traits and mannerisms within this adult.

We went to Jake and Katie's house for dinner on Sunday night after we got to babysit Kai.  When Jake got home he made us dinner, I was so proud of Jake's hospitality, what a gracious host he's become and frankly a great cook as well.  He's polite and mature and takes good care of his love and his child.  I couldn't be more proud of him if I tried. 

The adult relationship that we have now is something that I will forever treasure, it's one of the most open and honest relationships I've known. I used to think that it would be hard to stay close as he became an adult man, I've watched some men grow away from their mothers or parents as they have families of their own, but as Jake and I grow, we still have a good strong bond and I hope it stays that way.

I look forward to seeing what Cole will be like as an adult as well.  (If I can make it through another teenager)

Kids.  One of the coolest things I've ever accomplished.
