Today, as I struggle with other things…I got 2 amazing compliments about my boys  that lifted my soul.

First was a mom at school who found a note written from Carlos to her daughter that said “You have a very kind heart.  Carlos”  She’s going to put it in her forever memory box.  This is a little girl he just adores and tells us daily how much he “loves her as a friend”  So sweet and nice to see that side of our tough guy.

Second was an email from Levi’s teacher (to us and another family) that read:

"Just wanted to let you two know that both of your children write the
loveliest, most heartfelt birthday letters to their classmates.  I realize
that those are letters you never see, so I wanted to tell you!"

I know Levi is a sensitive, sweet guy but to hear that he can express that to friends 

on their birthday card was very special. 

In all the chaos and daily life I always wonder if we're raising them right and today

I'm feeling really good about who our boys are on the inside.  No, they aren't perfect 

they are good, cool kids.
