Just an Add on to Last Week

Okay, so I keep running across this poem when I get all caught up in "my stuff" and forget that God has given me these 2 precious people to raise. This is my assignment and calling for right now.
I thought of it at MCB last week and wanted to share it.

-Stacy

I Took His Hand and Followed
Mrs. Roy L. Peifer

My dishes went unwashed today,

I didn't make the bed,

I took his hand and followed

Where his eager footsteps led.

Oh yes, we went adventuring,

My little son and I...

Exploring all the great outdoors

Beneath the summer sky

We waded in a crystal stream,

We wandered through a wood...

My kitchen wasn't swept today

But life was gay and good.

We found a cool, sun-dappled glade

And now my small son knows

How Mother Bunny hides her nest,

Where jack-in-the-pulpit grows.

We watched a robin feed her young,

We climbed a sunlit hill...

Saw cloud-sheep scamper through the sky,

We plucked a daffodil.

That my house was neglected,

That I didn't brush the stairs,

In twenty years, no one on earth

Will know, or even care.

But that I've helped my little boy

To noble manhood grow,

In twenty years, the whole wide world

May look and see and know.

New Links!

Look to the left!
I added the links I jotted down last week.

Enjoy!

Need a New Post?

Hi gals! I just was getting tired of not seeing anything new here, so I thought I would add a little update.
I hope everyone is enjoying a nice weekend, maybe some St. Mary's Fest action and reveling in school being out - wahoo! I know I am!

Don't forget that Tuesdays are Bowman Bay play days. Bring a lunch, blanket, sunscreen, and play-in-the-sand/water-gear (optional). Its just a great opportunity to get out in the summer bliss and enjoy connecting with other moms and kids. Its a come when you can, stay as long as you want, kind if thing. I am usually there roughly 11-2.

See you then!
