good bye february...

goodbye shortest month of the year...
hello spring
geez time flies

we've had some crazy weather days lately

warm then cool

windy then cloudy

then a few drops of rain

we need rain

my aunt alice sent this picture last week...

strawberries
basil
cilantro
tomato
peppers
watermelon

our little SPURS had their last basketball game of the season Saturday

i hope they play again, year after year

i'll never get tired of watching my boys play sports

i read this recently...

 Our boys are built to be manly, but they're just young and untaught. Manly virtues like competitiveness, aggression, a desire for adventure. Messy, scary ideas, courage, endurance, fortitude, noisy.

God made this little boy energetic so one day he can go out and conquer the world.

Or at least, one day he'll have the gumption to support his family, minister his church, be a pillar in his community. Right now, he just needs to learn some self control.

there is no treatment for being a little boy.

We've got to teach them how to submit to authority without destryoing their leadership.

 

so grateful to be momma to two fierce little warriors!

prayerful for a pure heart as i mother them

with loads of patience, love, training and support

 and when one of them writes us a letter like this
i almost want to eat them up
so blessed to be loved by him
