Has its ups and downs and its pros and cons. It is hard....even after 4 years of doing this. 3 of the 4 years the boys have lived with us and go to their mom's on the weekends. It is getting harder and harder that the boys are tweens. Colby (the 11 year old) just came up to me and said, 'I love you Meena', gave me a hug and asked if he could lay down on the couch with me. It was sweet and made my day. Both boys always tell me 'I love you' in the mornings when I drop them off for school and at bedtime, but Colby is always more affectionate than Tristen . Colby is definitely a momma's boy, but he is turning in to being a 'stepmomma's' boy too. :) It is just nice to know that even through the rough days....there are always better days to make up for the rough days!
(Meena is what the boys have called me for the past 4 years. Our niece couldn't say Amanda when she was younger, so she called me Meena. The boys took to the name and that's what they've called me ever since.)

That made my heart smile. You are all blessed and lucky to have one another.
How sweet! I love the new nickname! I love the term stepmamma's boy, very cute!
btw do you still have "peanut" as a nickname too?
Oh no, you went private on me! Is your other blog just for your eyes only now or do you want to invite me too!
You are so great with the boy's. I seriously have to remind myself that you are a Stepmom and not their MOM! You are defiantly a roll model for many people.
