I have to say, that my kids are keepers.  Why?  Because they are good kids.  They are not in sports, or take piano because let's face it, that stuff is not cheap.  Instead they live in make believe, they go outside and get dirty, they play games together, Ryan even goes down the street to his friend's house now.  But, they do what they have to do.  Sure they gripe sometimes, but that is a kids job.  They follow the rules, accept responsibility, are honest, and treat others with kindness.  So yeah, I am a proud Mom.  And I will keep them.
