The grace of his father

Now mind you that i know my son is loved by our amazing God and has and will continue to receive his abundant grace in his life as he grows and matures... but it's the other father i'm talking about this time... the grace of his Bull father :) Yesterday Nathan had quite the day visiting all his aunts/uncles/grandparents/cousins on Gary's side of the family in Perryville. They were all so excited to see him and he loved playing outside in the grass, which we're still working on not eating :) but i think my favorite comment during our time there was Gary's sister Christy talking to Nathan and saying, Boy... you're as graceful as your daddy :) amidst one of Nathan's tumbles of the day :) i'll tell you one thing, Nathan really misses his daddy. Gary and Nathan have gotten into the habit of playing on the beds, rough housing on the floors, and just being boys together :) a job that this mommy doesn't do really well. so i am all the more thankful to our God for knowing the balance that a marriage, the wife and husband, bring to raising our children! and i absolutely say hats off to single moms! i have about 2 and a half more weeks to go and i already need a vacation :) God has blessed me with such a precious family in my husband and son and i know that there are many days that i don't realize just how much of a partnership Gary and i are in parenting, until we're away from him for a time. All that to say, i am a blessed woman, blessed by my God and my family!
