INLAWS OR OUTLAWS?

Since my children have grown up, they have brought me 3 more children. And I don't mean grandchildren. (Grandchildren are a class in themselves.) What I'm talking about are the in-laws.
Yancey and Sam are my daughters' husbands. And I love them like my own sons. They are both laid back personalities, which is a perfect match for my 'type-A' daughters. I gave a pretty good description of Yancey in my post on becoming a grandparent. He and Fonda have been married for 15 years. I've also mentioned Sam in a former post. He is very talented in music, and has a memory out of this world. He enjoys knowing various and unusual facts about the world. He also used to say he would like to work at the zoo! (I haven't heard about that for a while. But he has created a bird aviary in the back yard.) He enjoys working on the computer, and wants to build he own. He is the one who set me up with my e-mail.
Rejhaun is engaged to my son, Austin. They live far away, and we don't see them often. But she writes me or calls me every few weeks and they are doing okay. She graduated from college, Summa Cum Laude, with a degree in criminal justice. She is a good cook, and also a type-A woman. I enjoy her company. Austin's laid back personality goes well with her. We're looking forward to the wedding.
So I think they are all IN-laws. All it takes to remain IN-laws in my book, is to keep loving and respecting my children. If they ever stop doing that, they will probably be on the OUTS with me. I guess that would make them OUT-laws, wouldn't it?
They have all become mine to claim. I treat them like my own, praying for them and holding them accountable. I love them all. We'll just wait awhile and see what Cassie brings home! I bet we'll be surprised how we'll love him, too.
