Little Joe recently told a neighbor "My mom used to be a veterinarian but now she works with kids". First of all, I have never been a veterinarian. Secondly, spell check confirms I can barely write the word! But I understand the confusion. He recently asked what my major in college was. Answer: zoology, the study of animals. I guess he figured that was good enough to be a doctor, or maybe he questioned why else would we have two dogs! He is right on the second part of his statement. I do work with kids, my kids. This is the hardest and most rewarding job I have ever had. No clocking in and out, unless you count hitting the pillow at night and rising in the morning. I am in constant need of grace from the Lord due to my sinfulness, and thankful for the strength He is giving this aging body to keep up with these kiddos!

This boy is so cute! He is beginning to pose for the camera.
This is not an isolated incident but a daily occurrence all through the house.
I need to post "watch your step" signs for guests. We do clean up before bed time.
I promise he is 9 and not 15! For some reason he looks much older here.
Maybe the lighting or angle of the camera or the fact that there is a large football coming out of his
chest? Maybe this mama is just trying to convince herself that he is not growing up
fast.
