"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

Clarky's first dove hunt

One of the best things in my life has been having a boy.  Had no idea how he would tug on my heartstrings, but oh my goodness he does.  :)

This was one of those moments.  He got all dressed up for his first dove hunt with daddy.  Now, part of the "tugging" is that he has to break away from me and identify with Daddy.  I get it, I know it, but (sniff sniff) he's still my baby. 

I mean, is there anything cuter than a tiny boy in boots and Wranglers???????? no!!!

At this point Mommy was crazily snapping away because of the aforementioned cuteness.  Couldn't. stop.
Showing the muscles!
(waaaaahhhhhh, my baby is gone, time to embrace the "big boy"!)


Gotta go, Dad...

Ready to load up

Again, the Wranglers.  :)

My little buddy
Thankful for a thoughtful husband who knows Mommy will want to see pictures of what's going on!!

Red, sweaty cheeks, dirty, dead birds:  and he loved EVERY minute of it.
