Behind the Scenes

This blog has really become a part of our everyday lives. Although I didn't realize the impact it would have, I'm totally enjoying it.  It has made me very aware of the small everyday enjoyable activities we do, the memories we make, and the togetherness that results.

Tonight, this is what blogging looks like for us.


It's freezing outside, so we are snuggled into my bed, warm apple cider in hand.  We are discussing concepts together, he is realizing that his opinion is important to me, and delights when he sees his ideas come to fruition on this blog.

Earlier this evening, he lost (for the first time) his sparring match.  He does not like to lose, but learning to lose graciously is an important lesson to learn.  I can't help but think that, with the importance he places on his physical strength, this is a comforting way to focus on his other "strengths." 

It is my hope that this blog reveals some of his creative talents and shows him he has a very strong foundation: his family.  He is always a champion here, always accepted, always loved.

Come to think of it, "loved" almost seems like an understatement.  For that, I am forever grateful.
