Today, because the sun has come out after 3 days a of clouds....reminds me of my youngest son....
He is probably the most emotional extreme of my 4 kids. When he is happy, he is the happiest and when he is sad, he is the saddest.
Last week they went back to school after being out for 3 weeks (we go to yr. round school ~ 9 wks in, 3 wks out). He came home on Monday and said he wished he could be Biscuit ( our cute schoodle dog) so he could stay home from school and bite people! This little boy really doesn't like school. He never gets in trouble and always does his work...good work at that! But when he comes home he all out wants to play, play, play!
So this sun reminds me of my little fellow and the brightness he brings to our home ~ when he's feeling good and happy that is!
I love how my oldest helped him to see the error of his way. He ask boy #3, who's your best friend, where did you meet him? Who's your 2nd best friend, where'd you meet him? and the answer both times was "school" so big bro reminded him that if it weren't for school, these best friend never would have been!!! What a good big brother to show him this!

Baseball & my boys
So I've had the longest week...one week ago I found out one of my dearest aunts passed away. Work has continued, school for the kids started back up, my dear husband is getting to do something he loves...coach basketball @ the community college, and baseball is going on everyday of the week but Sunday.
I was happy today when I got to wake up without the alarm clock, but we were in full motion before I finished my coffee. So, as I sat and watched my 1st son's baseball practice, it was nice to be in the sun...to not be taking anyone somewhere and not think about anything.
But I wonder if all moms have this problem; I kept thinking, my son could do that better, my son should be the catcher. Why isn't my son on 1st, he would have caught that ball. Basically being the boasting mom. And as I look out across the field, "boy is he the cutest thing you've ever seen, or what?"
Just overall pride and joy. I love these kids and I love watching them. I guess I was so excited to go back to the next practice for the youngest son we went almost an hour early without knowing it. As I watched him, it was so fun to see his energy and joy. He is the youngest and not afraid to try anything. One thing is for sure, he has let the power of words transform him. Early on in the season his coach told him he maybe the fastest kid on the team and boy has this set a fire under him. Now, he makes sure he always runs faster than anyone.
I need to remember that the Lord takes great pleasure in us and we are the apple if His eye. He created us for His pleasure to have fellowship with Him. He created us in His imagine and He beams with joy when we are doing something we love. And on how I need to walk in the fact that GOD sees me as one that has all the power that raise Christ from the dead (all HIS power)and that "ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD".
I really need to look at my kids more and learn about this life we live. To live it fresh and without limitations.
Thanks boys!
