Mirror Mirror

Let me first say that I love my new wallpaper (thanks Michelle). I have not been here for awhile again and camp has started, our 2nd week just finished. I forget how much I miss the kids and the redemption I see throughout the week. And in 10 weeks it will be over and I'll go through my depressed state of missing them. However, this year, I have my favorite camper of all....Jake! Jake has now gotten used to have 15 yr. old babysitters from 9-3 take care of him 3 days a week. At first I felt like a failure to have babysitters take care of him. Until one day, I saw him bossing all them around the camp! I laughed and realized how much fun he was having, I wasn't the worst mom ever to have him with someone else for a couple days a week. And there is nothing like the end of the day when they bring him out of the house and up towards the barn and I come out of the barn and he yells "HI momma" and comes running up the hill to me. ahhhhh that is life!

Ken and I are continuing to explore opportunities for our 2nd and last child. Somedays, I feel very satisfied with one, but growing up with 2 and ken as well, we are praying to have 2. God only knows if that will happen. Lots of changes on the horizon I suspect.

I can't wait to hear all about what you are exploring for number 2.

And, of course you aren't a failure. Quite the contrary, you are such a success...that little boy has a momma who loves the dickens out of him and from the looks of him and the stories you tell, he knows it way down deep. Plus, you will tell him all about Jesus, who loves him even more and who can fill all the empty places that even our love can't touch. How could you be more successful than that? :)
