What's to Come

Sitting back and reading my husband's Daddy Varner blog gives me so much joy. I can never read it without shedding a few tears or laughing out loud. He doesn't talk much about how he feels but it is wonderful to have a husband that values you and his children. It makes me wonder what my children are garnering from their experiences as our children. When I look at them now I am in awe of how far they've come from being in my womb, in my arms and just entering pre-school. It is unimaginable that we have a 1st grader and 3rd grader. As we begin this new phase of parenthood, I can only pray that we do right by them and raise children who are responsible citizens of the world. This summer we took them to Disney. They rode on an airplane and even with a few down moments, had a BALL. So many kids don't get the chance to have and do the things that are just common place to them. There next big family vacation will be out of the country in 2010. I can't wait to see more of the world and watch them as they begin to understand this diverse universe in which we live. Right now they are poor in teeth (missing about 4 between them) but rich in opportunity. Thanks Be to God!
