"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

Stinkers

That's what these two are.  Griffin (or as Clark calls him, Giffy) and Clark
They were born almost a month to the day apart and are SO much alike.  Little bruisers, we call em.  :)

My good friend, Kimberly, took this photo of them the day she kept Clark for us so we could take AnnMarie to the state fair and Tech/BU game.  THANK YOU is not enough!!  As you can see, he had a wonderful time, as always and was taken care of very well!  I never worry one bit when he's with her!  He came home with his very first craft project---darling little pint sized pumpkin with his handprints on it to make a spider.  He also got to go to the pumpkin patch and donut shop.  (And Mrs. Kimberly took three kids on all these outings and managed to get the toddlers in costumes!)
She is such a sweet and thoughtful person.  I'm VERY thankful for our friendship. 

Can't wait to make many more memories with these chubby boys!
