Dear Abi and Ben,

I pray you will grow up to be happy well balanced individuals. I hope you will have compassion for others and enough self esteem to not let others walk all over you. I hope you are intelligent and successful but never snooty. I hope you love deeply and have sorrows, for it builds character. I hope you can celebrate your victories, admit when you are wrong, and most importantly have humility. I hope you cherish your family, have passion for your spouse, and know the love of holding a newborn baby. I hope we can give you the tools you need to be great. I pray god grants you the serenity to accept the things you cannot change, courage to change the things you can, and wisdom to know the difference.

Love you always, Mom

 Good morning, it's breakfast time!

Abi wanted me to take a picture of her owl tank.
