Cell  phones. Email. Texting. Twitter. Facebook. Skype and more!  These things have been a lifesaver for me as a mom.  I remember the summer before Eric turned 16 – he wanted a cell phone.  We got him one and then the following year, Brent got one at age 14.  It was a great way to stay in touch with them while they were out with their friends, especially once they got their licenses! 

Now that they are out of the house, it has been especially nice to keep in touch.  I love reading about what they are doing daily, enjoy texting them little notes of have a great day – or I love you and skype was especially great when Eric was in London!

So it makes me appreciate technology all the more.  I am very thankful that it wasn’t like it was in my day with only letters and pay phones.  It’s hard enough to get young people to send an email let alone actually write a letter!

I love my boys.  I love staying in touch with them.  I don’t believe that will ever change.  ;)
