Proud Mama

I am a proud mama. I have been blessed with two wonderful children. They are as similar and as different as siblings can be. They challenge me to the depths of my patience, yet, they bring so much joy.

This week was my son's turn to shine. He has worked hard for another 3 months and earned his orange belt in karate. I cannot begin to tell you how proud I am of him - at his hard work and his dedication.

I am also thrilled with the progress he has made with his "SD" - self-discipline. He is a courteous and generous kid to the core of his being, but his SD needed a bit of improvement.

It is an honor to stand beside them and watch them grow. It is also a huge responsibility, being a parent. But, mostly, it is a tremendous blessing being their mom.
