Bringing Up Boys

"Every little boy wants to know that he is strong, that he matters.
Only a man can tell him."
I stole this quote from Andi, who is such a beautiful writer! (Her blog is entitled Tales From The Running Mama and it is so worth reading!!) When I read this quote a few weeks ago, it touched my heart and really hit home. I take for granted the male influences in my boys lives, especially their daddy's. A positive male role model is SO crucial for a little boy. I am blessed that my boys have a father that makes them feel special and loved. Thank you Stephen for being such an amazing father to Logan and Spencer!! I am also grateful to the grandfathers that play such an important part in my boys lives as well. Because of you, my boys will never have to wonder if they matter or not. They will just know. :) I love you all!!
