Raising children is an adventure with twists and turns, mountains and valleys, thrills and turmoils. The best parts of the adventure are found in tiny blissful moments, sweetest memories, and warm hopes for the future.
We hope for our children to grow into righteous men and women. We want them all to be independent and happy. And yet, isn't it wonderful- the difference between boys and girls. We raise our boys to be protectors, providers, leaders. And our girls to be nurturers, teachers, and builders of home and family. In our house we celebrate the uniqueness of our roles and are not ashamed to be different.
So we take it all in- all the screams, the stinkiness, the mud, sweat, ribbons, blueness, pinkness, truck vrooming, doll rocking, dancing 'til your dizziness- and love it.

Oh my goodness!!!!! She is so beautiful! You are so good at putting a cuting spin on everything you write. I love you and your family, including the mud, sweat, car vrooming and all of that. You're great.
