May God bless and keep you always, May your wishes all come true, May you always do for others, And let others do for you. May you build a ladder to the stars, And climb on every rung, May you stay forever young, Forever young, forever young, May you stay forever young. May you grow up to be righteous, May you grow up to be true, May you always know the truth, And see the lights surrounding you. May you always be courageous , Stand upright and be strong, May you stay forever young, Forever young, forever young, May you stay forever young. May your hands always be busy, May your feet always be swift, May you have a strong foundation when the winds of change shift. May you heart always be joyul, May your song always be sung, May you stay forever young.

bedtime conversations...
"what are you thankful for?" always yields some semblance of "for you mom".
And tonight i said "you know what I'm thankful for? I'm thankful for my sweet boys, God gave me the best gift of all my. boys."
to which Jack replied..
"did God send us to you in packages with bows on top?"
Geesh, that sure would have been easier for me...
but unfortunately, that's not the way it went down.

The Best Days...

Why haven't I started a blog before? Mostly because I couldn't ever decide on a name for it. Silly, I know. Why do I have a blog now? Mostly because I'm living the Best Days of my life at the moment and although I'm rather tired and trying to do too many things at once I just cannot imagine that someday I will not be able to recall the details. These moments are too precious to forget. And most importantly I need someplace to write them down.
