Okay...see? Missing a few brain cells. I just clicked on your name and read your profile. Love it! I agree about the being at home. I can't imagine being anywhere else. In 20 years I will not look back and have any regrets about being there to watch my children learn and grow.
RE: watching kids grow . . . I can honestly say that I've enjoyed something about every stage, and it just gets better as they get older and more independent! (although neither of mine drive or date yet . . . that could be different . . . )
Hi samiam. (Love your screen name by the way. That's funny).
Since you have such little kids and have looked at homemom's profile page, I can tell you that her book is great.
Worth having IMO.
