"The fundamental mission of motherhood now is the same as it always was: to nurture, protect, and instruct children, to create a home environment that enables them to learn and grow, to help them develop a heart for God and his purposes, and to send them out into the world prepared to live both fully and meaningfully."

-Sally Clarkson from the Mission of Motherhood

Inhale.big exhale. spring is HERE. yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's hope these babies show up!
Gamma (aka my sweet MIL) put these gloves in my stocking this Christmas. Aren't they cute?
Just so you know Clark does not always have to play in a doll playpen, here's where he hung out while we planted:
Thank goodness I'm not alone on this task!
And now we wait, wait, wait, and water, water, water
