Just Jumping In

This has been a new project for awhile now.  I miss writing, I miss sharing the crazy life I'm living with my family.  It is often a zoo around here.  With four boys things are said, done, and created that just amaze me sometimes.  So, instead of waiting for that perfect moment or the right topic, I am jumping in with both feet because you have to start somewhere.

I'm jumping in with a quick intro to Bear.  I've chosen Bear as this one's animal due to the following description:

The bear is a symbol of strength, courage and tenacity. It also represents a gentle friendship and a docile follower in camouflage. However, bear’s love for honey adds up an amusing element into the symbol of power and dignity.

This describes him perfectly, in so many ways!  The boy keeps me on my toes.  Such as digging an orange out of his brother's lunch box last week, taking it to the bathroom where he peeled and ate it. Leaving the peel in the trash.  Or how he cut Piper's hair yesterday.  I know all (okay most) our scissors are kept well out of his reach.  But it does not stop him.  Not very much stands in his way.  There will never be a mountain he can't move or climb. And as frustrating as it can be from a parent's standpoint at times, it is also part of why we love him so much!
