All three of my wonderful children came to our family with very unique, very strong-willed, personalities. Todd and I have fooled ourselves for awhile thinking we could get them to behave and think exactly how we want them to think.... hoping they would be perfectly, perfect little images of us. Well, at least all the good qualities of us... cause we don't have any bad qualities... only good.
Ok, back to the point. The point is. We've done our best but in the end, they are who they are and who they've always been; we're just along for the ride. We've tried to provide some bumper pads in the game of life for them, some railings to help them avoid going over the edge, but otherwise they are headed off to their destination.
And their destinations and lives are going to be amazing..... cause they are amazing people. Todd and I have been blessed to be part of their lives.
Sweet Spencer always does his best to tolerate us, and never wants to hurt our feelings, but has a mind of his own. Always has and always will. Love him tons and tons.
Darling Evan is our quiet, a little bit shy, son who hides his brilliant mind behind his quiet confidence. He's always seemed to know exactly what needs to be done and just does it. Not because we've told him to but because it's the right thing to do. Love him a million times over.
Beautiful Tori came into our lives as a force of nature. She moves forward with a purpose and direction and doesn't let anyone stop her. She seems to tolerates us because we provide food and shelter and, well, maybe she loves us a little too. She's been this way since birth and she's fabulous. Love this young woman.
We are blessed!!
