Jack's Baaaaack!!

Jack has been at my mom and dad's house since Friday. I miss him so very much. The house has been too quiet. I have not had to get onto AJ and Ben much. Jack is such a spirited kid. I'm working on embracing this instead of wondering how to change him. He is so passionate about life and everything he does. He's all or nothing. I know God gave me this child for me to look after and to raise to be a God seeking adult. I admit some days it's just putting out fires, but others Jack is really intent on learning and figuring stuff out. Mark my words! He will be a world changer one day! (Let's hope it's for good and he's not a rogue military person or something. haha.)

In all seriousness though (because one day he will read this), I want him to know that I thank God for him everyday. He is a blessing to us all! Anyone that knows Jack loves him and wants to be around him (except for his brothers sometimes..ha).

Dear Lord, I know you desire for me to raise a God-following adult. Please give me Your wisdom as I seek to become the parent You called to this high honor. Redirect my perspectives and equip me for this task today, and everyday. In Jesus' Name, Amen

It's Summertime with an Outbreak of Crazy

Ok really? I have not blogged since September. What kind of writer, mother, wife am I? Gosh! Well, the Fall went so fast, then Winter, then Spring, now Summer. It's a crazy time with a 6, 4 and 3 year old. Yes, Ben had a birthday. It was fun and full of toy stories! Jack will be entering Kindergarten on August 27th. What? Jack in real school? Is he ready? Am I ready? Well, we hope so!

As for summer, let's just say it's very spirited! The boys have had way too much togetherness! They fight, they hit, then they love and play. It's fun, but so tiring trying to keep up! I love every minute of it though. They keep me on my toes. A verse comes to mind. Hebrews 12:11 All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness.  I CAN DO THIS!

Oh, and I'm really going to start blogging more. My life is so funny sometimes; I really need to remember all this!
