I thought this was a cute picture of the kids. They seem to be getting older so fast. I was thinking the other day that Jake was the age that Izzy is now, when we brought her home from the hospital. I can't believe how small he was, and now he is a big boy showing his sister how to brush her teeth. Pretty soon he will driving her to school and then leaving for college. Oh man, that makes me want to cry.
I was having a conversation with a lady from church talking about her teenage children, and I must say I am ok and I aprreciate the age Jake and Isablee are now. At least now I get to control what they do, say, eat, where they go, and how long we are gone. It's scary to think that someday I will be at home worrying about the choices they are making and they will be away from me.
So, I must say to my parents who read this blog, thanks for worrying about me, and loving me enough to discipline me when I was making the wrong choices. I maybe hated you at the time, but I see now how much a parent loves their children.
So the picture is cute, but really has nothing to do with this entry!
Thanks Steph, its always a good feeling to know you had a positive impact on your childrens lives. Try not to worry about the "Someday" just continue to set the foundation for their lives now. Teaching them right from wrong and the importance of family and faith. They were born with a purpose, your job as parents is to lead them on the right path. To be a teacher and not their best friend. Then pray alot... I love the picture..
