...Awww!! That is so sweet. She totally IS a prize!<br /><br />Yes, I've been thinking about this a lot lately, too. I want my kids to have integrity and respect and a full heart when encountering the whole dating thing.... I'm already careful with my language with them regarding relationships in hopes that they'll pick up on where I'm coming from a bit!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17025673838847358875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041474346805140660.post-72191117768079183562011-04-05T10:28:46.233-05:002011-04-05T10:28:46.233-05:00What a sweet picture, Melanie!

I know the day is coming that I can't make decisions for them. I know this doesn't apply to you, Mel, but sometimes parents don't think about protecting their sons. I remind my boys that there are girls out there who want to steal their innocence. There are girls who aren't nice! I pray all the time my sons find sweet christian girls like yours!gidget.ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13826294165725501935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041474346805140660.post-17601172925962064792011-04-05T07:33:54.620-05:002011-04-05T07:33:54.620-05:00How absolutely precious!!

It's wonderful watching them grow up. But hard, hard, hard on this Mommy to know that it really isn't much longer until they're going to be making some really big life decisions and I have to truly let go of it and trust God with my little prizes.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00817929953380695272noreply@blogger.com
