WHAT DO I LOVE ABOUT BOYS? MY BOYS?

Having boys is a new adventure for Allen and me.  There are some things that I find rather difficult, but so many things that I am enjoying.  While I was away, I missed my family...all of my family.  I was surprised at how nervous and excited I was to see them when we were reunited.  Sometimes I just find myself smiling when I think about the boys.  

Here are some of the things I love about my boys---

1.  I love that they LOVE sports.  It is so much fun to watch them run, jump and play.

2.  I love that they LOVE Star Wars.  I think it is kind of funny that they know all the characters in the movies.  They would never turn down a chance to watch one of the movies.  Never.

3.  I love that you don't have to guess what they are thinking.  You pretty much get what you see.

4.  Having said that...I love that they are a mystery to me.  Really.  I don't understand them at all but I am "studying" who they are and what makes them tick.   In some ways, they are so much simpler than girls.  In other ways?...Well, I am working on that.

5.  I love that they give me big bear hugs...every day.  Then they run off to find a new adventure.

6.  I love that they aren't afraid to try anything.  It is very refreshing to me.

7.  I love that they don't really care that much what they are wearing.  They definitely have their favorite shirts and wouldn't think twice about wearing it over and over and over.

8.  I love that they play hard and don't mind getting muddy, dirty or scratched.

9.  I love that they are resourceful.  Both of my boys like to figure things out on their own.  I don't know if all boys are like this, but they are so independent!  Sometimes too independent!

10. I love that God gave me two boys.  They are both a handful, they make me tired and they sometimes drive me crazy...but they are so full of life and love and have given my life a new focus.  I can honestly say that I think it is really fun having boys.
