little sprout

hello spring sunshine :) i am in my little bit of heaven right now; because with spring sunshine comes longer, warmer, playing in the grass barefoot kinda days. spring sunshine means planting flowers and growing fruits and veggies in our (not quite there, but really wants to be) garden. spring sunshine means swinging in the shady swing with cooing baby and watching my curious toddler explore the grounds. hello spring sunshine. welcome ;) come and stay for awhile.

check out those gardening sea turtle (my toddler doesn't want to take them off ever! boots :) we dig them! oops. sorry, no pun intended ;) he was helping daddy plant some beans, carrots, peas, and watermelon seeds :) and let me tell ya, he was pretty much over the moon about those tiny seeds and dirt! cause really, what child doesn't love dirt?

okay. is there anything better than watching a father with his son? (quietly and patiently teaching him life lesson sorta things) a heart squeeze moment in the making? yep. 

and as i look at these pictures (that i'm bias and totally smitten with) i can't help but think of the movie I watched last night with my hubs. Courageous. Heard of it? I hadn't, not until a couple girls mentioned it to me. The makers of Fireproof. We watched it, (more like laughed and cried through it) and the movie happened to be about Fatherhood. And as I watched it, my heart kind of bubbled right on over thinking what an amazing father my husband is. I knew he would be when we dated, I knew he would be when we married, but I never really got it until those two defining moments when he held Caleb and Lucas in his arms after they were born and then from those moments on as he took on fatherhood with gusto. He sure does set the bar high. So patient, so calm and caring, so gentle in his teachings. Fun, silly, and so many other things! I'm blessed by him everyday and strive to be a better wife and mother because of him. And I know he is this way because of his wonderful and amazing parents and because his father was very much involved with his children, the same way that Dave is with his. And so it continues on. But for this I am grateful. Especially that not only do our boys have an amazing father, but for our Heavenly Father which teaches us all and guides us all with His love.

So, anyway.  Please Pardon my Monday Ramblings :)  

All I really wanted to say was, happy spring sunshine Monday!

oh and, I have some fun pictures from our weekend to come!
