~Gracie Hangin With The Boys~

The Monster Energy Drinks are the boys'

Grace is only pretending to be cool!

Last week Nathan and Eli spent a couple days at my house and we had a BLAST! These wild and crazy guys are a lot of fun and have been such a blessing to me. For all their totally “boy behavior”, when they play with Grace they are both so gentle and loving and really take the time to get on her level and be her buddies. When I was making dinner the boys took Grace to play in her room and soon I could hear her squealing with delight at their antics. Grace does have them both wrapped around her finger! She loves to boss them and get them to do her bidding, probably because they respond so much quicker than Mommy… ;) Anywho, I wanted to post this because I am very thankful for both Nathan and Eli, but even more so, I wanted to say that they are the product of wonderful Godly parents.

Both the Taylors and Shelbys have instilled the love of Jesus in their children. They have been such an example to me and I can not say enough how much it has meant for me as a parent. I guess Pastor Stanley’s sermon got me thinking today about Godly parenting and the type of Mommy I want to be for Grace. He has given me such a great support system and for that I am thankful. I am also thankful that Grace has such wonderful men in her life to look up to. Thank you Todd and Ron, for filling this vital role in my little girl’s life. I see Jesus in you and I know Gracie does too. I see how amazing all of your kids are turning out and I am praying that with all your help and by the grace of God, Gracie will grow into a Godly young lady, such as Emily, Sarah and Emma!

Thank you, Nathan and Eli for making Gracie feel so special and loved, with your doting attention, and for making her laugh till she can hardly breathe! Grace and I both enjoy you immensely! ;)
