Jeremy Munson

Okay, now for my youngest child. I have to admit Jeremy is the toughest of my children to write about. I have a very special place in my heart for him. I think it comes from knowing that he would be my last baby. He was the most beautiful baby ever born!! Yeah... I know, all mom's say that.

Jeremy was my accident prone child. He was born emergency C-section since he had his cord wrapped around his neck and pulling on it with his left hand! That being said he came out perfect. : ) He had is first set of stitches at 2 years old and it just went on from there!! He almost ran over his sister, but lucky for her there was a six foot plum tree in the way. This picture was taken just shortly after his first driving adventure... he looks so sweet here. But looks can be deceiving! Hehehe He is actually very sweet, but also a bit mischievious! At the age of 7 he actually managed to run over his brother! Thank God for guardian angels... Adam ended up with just a cracked pelvis. : ) (Oh, by the way... Jeremy either rides the bus or his bike... no driving for him! LOL)

When Jeremy turned 12 his dad & I got him a 21 speed bike that resulted in 36 stitches!! Yes... my little accident looking for a place to happen. I can't even count how many stitches he has had overall. I know that his guardian angels were working overtime! And I am so thankful that they were.

Jeremy is now 25 and just as sweet as ever. He has had a lot of difficulties to deal with in his young life. Thankfully, he has mostly grown out of his accident prone stage. : ) There is still a special place in my heart for my baby boy, (yes, I know that I may take a little heat for that comment!).

Jeremy is very creative, he has done some drawings that are terrific and tried his hand at digital art. I was blown away by his creativity with our digital art programs... he gets his creativity from both of his parents... his dad is an architectural designer & painter, and his mother expresses her creativity through her jewelry designs and graphic artwork.

It is kind of strange to think of the three kids and realize that I have 3 opposites! : ) I always thought that was something that you would only have with two... however, each one of my children are special in their own way. I have been so blessed to have them in my life.

Here is a more current pic of my wonderful son ~ Jeremy

~ J. Adam Munson ~

Today, it’s Adam’s turn to be in the spot light on my blog. Today is his 27th Birthday!! Wow! When did that happen? I still remember when he was born… what a wonderful and sweet natured baby! I also remember when he was about 15 and had a cold and felt terrible. He comes into my room (I was sitting on my bed working on a cross stitch project) and he lays down next to me and puts his head on my shoulder and says “Mommy, I don’t feel good”. What a great feeling to know that even as your children are growing up they still have times when they need their mother.

When Adam was born I wanted to name him Adam Jeffrey. However, his dad thought it would be cool to name him Jeffrey Adam that way his signature is “J. Adam Munson”. I didn’t mind as long as I got to call him Adam. : ) He fits his name quite well… he carves his own way through life, not really walking in other’s footsteps. He is very much his own person. Even so, I see many similarities to both of his parents. He is a good blend of both of us.

He has many hobbies… brewing beer & gardening – he has an awesome indoor garden, & reading are just a few of them. He also throws a great party!! The last time that I was in the Seattle area he had a big BBQ party. The food was awesome, they did a BBQ cook off and we all got to sample everything & vote on our favorites. I love the fact that he is very responsible when it comes to party time. He will not allow his friends to drink and drive… since it was August and the weather was perfect (surprising in Seattle), he had tents set up around the yard, in case people needed to crash and sleep it off before driving home.

Adam is very concientious of our environment. He rides the bus almost everywhere he goes (unless his sister is going and then they carpool together). Sometimes when I am talking to him I realize that he is one of those “Scary Smart” people!! Hehehe He is very intelligent and loves to debate with his dad – actually, I think that they both enjoy the debates. : ) While Adam might be considered to be very opinionated, he always looks at the situation from all the angles before choosing his opinion.

The best thing about Adam is his love for his family. He can always be counted on to lend a shoulder to cry on, or to listen to a little venting session!! His sister and brother both know that they can always count on Adam to be there for them. I know that even though I live in Arizona, if I really need to talk I can call Adam. He is also close to dad… I am so glad that my kids have a good relationship with their dad, he cares about them a lot.

That is my son Adam!!
Adam – I love you a lot and miss you everyday. Have a very Happy Birthday.
