My sis and I were talking today about our children. We came to this conclusion: it’s pretty amazing the fact that our kids adore us—no strings attached. And that’s just how little kids are when it comes to their mothers—they are completely into us. What a blessing that is! Soon enough they will not be so interested and will probably value friends more than dear old mom.
Sometimes I call Evelyn Evy-boo. So I thought it was so cute when I pulled this out of her school backpack-- Mom-boo, I love you. And then the darling picture of she and Dane on the swings at our park—I’m standing on the side swinging the two. I don’t know why this picture touched me the way it did. She always draws pictures for me—at least a couple every day. But for some reason I felt very happy when I saw this one. It really illustrates the simplicity of our life and it makes me realize just how lucky I am to be a mom with an adoring fan. I hardly deserve it, but I’m grateful just the same!
