Wild At Heart

Happy Father's Day to all our wonderful dads and grandpas! We are so blessed to have you all in our lives. I'm feel especially blessed that Sam gets to grow up surrounded by so many good men who model for him how to be a great man. Today in church our pastor's message had many referrences to the book "Wild at Heart". It is a book that Brian has already read (and highly recommends) but it was so good for me to hear again that boys were created in God's image to be "wild at heart". Sometimes I feel exhausted by Sam's energy and rambuncous spirit, but today I realized again that #1 it is totally normal and #2 it is a huge blessing. Considering the health issues he started with in life and despite 2 open heart surgeries, Samuel has far more energy than either Brian or I could have ever imagined. And now I've been blessed with another little ball of testosterone due in 33 days....Lord help me!!!!!!!

Here's some pics of our "Wild at Heart" gymnast. Next up is swimming lessons starting in a week.

What a great post. I can't believe how much energy Sam has for having his heart issues. It is truly a blessing that he's so spirited and he can enjoy fun things like swimming and gymnastics. Good thing we have boys/men in our lives to keep things interesting!
