What I Can Give...

....I can't always give my boys the biggest and most expensive toys...
....I can't always give them the cleanest and most organized home....
I don't have the option to stay at home with them and watch them grow from sun up until sun down....
They don't get to go to Chuck-E Cheese every weekend or see all the new movies in theatre....
....maybe at times I let them watch too much TV just so I can have a quiet moment every now and then....
Some things I can help give them though are the love of nature, their love of growing their own food, their love for the simple things in life...
....The love they have for each other....What little time all four of us do have together is made sure to be quality time...
....That smile on E's face is priceless. The laughter coming from the yard while playing on a $5 purchase from the flea market is priceless....

  2. Lovin' the quote... it really is the simplest things. And I think what you ARE giving them is exactly the right things!! Love, family, time, growing their own food and learning where it comes from... it's all GREAT!! :)
