The Joys of Boys!

         Wow! It's been a LONG time since I have "blogged".  Is it too late to make a new year's resolution? I think mine is going to be better about updating! 

          As I looked back at my pictures from the last 12 months, I realize just how much has happened! Not anything that would be real exciting for anybody except Robb and me probably, but so much that I want to remember! Well, most of it I want to remember! 

          The past few weeks have been really good-no great-weeks for us! I have read two really wonderful books that have brought insight and provoked my thinking about lots of things! One thought being my mothering/parenting.  As we sat in church on this beautiful Easter Sunday morning, I was overcome with emotion during one of the hyms.  As I visualized Jesus' journey to the cross and the suffering he endured, I could'nt get out of my head, "What was Mary doing while this was going on? How was she able to watch her son be tortured and hung? How in the world did she make it?" There have been several instances in the past few months where the strengh of other mothers has truly amazed me! I have really been shaken to the core by how quickly and dramatically life can change.  Just like Mary's life was changed SO dramatically and so quickly! 

        All that to say, I don't want to miss a thing! I want to be able to look back on what I do have and be able to remember it all! And with technology, I am able to basically have an online journal! I used to think that blogging was to keep everyone else updated, and it still will be, but from now on, I want to remember all the small things that happen in my life.  From now on, I want to remember my "Joys with Boys!"  

Two pictures from this weekend. Trying to get a great shot of everyone is harder than it looks! We took these Good Friday. The boys were having such fun looking for "snakes" (aka..worms). They were such great sports to stop and let me take a few pictures. Even Maggie was patient with me.
