In a nutshell, I love being a mom to these two boys! Lots of incredible moments in my days. Challenging ones too, naturally. But we are up for the task and what a ride it is! Nothing better than a hug and kiss and an "I love you to the moom and back, mom!" from our little man. God's blessings are abundant.

We did some rearranging this weekend just to accommodate more for school. :)

Sis, your testimony is so encouraging to me. Who says the "formative years" are only for the kids, right? I have already felt myself having to face my own humanity, and I have no doubt that the process will continue. And, honestly, I'm okay with that. I'm excited to see His plan unfold in our family as we grow together and in HIM.

Love you, too!

Thanks, Ang. I've got some blues and other colors to add to it as I go. It's so fun to create!

INSANE!!!! But kinda cool... :-)

You're not the first person tell me that! I'll take it. He's pretty darned cute. ;-)

I couldn't agree more, Drew! Great post.

That is awesome. God knows just how to communicate with us! Making each day count is what life is all about...our future "folder" looks full. Exciting!

That was really interesting. Our founding fathers knew the difference between a democracy and a republic. "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. And to the REPUBLIC for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all."

Absolutely. Giving our best and searching our hearts is vital. I too am so thankful for God's loving nature, and positive friends and influences in my life and those around me. What a blessing. And I love that scripture. It's one I think about often. Bless you, Ang!

Introspection was the entire point of this blog post...not only for myself but for anybody else out there who wants to try it. =)
