As a mom there are so many occasions to say "No" to my children – NO television, NO candy, NO, NO, NO. But tonight I said "yes" and was blessed. It was a simple "yes" that involved playing a quick game of HORSE at our basketball hoop in the dark on a warm night but it was a "yes" that was rewarded by many smiles, much laughter (I have a pathetic lay-up – especially in a skirt), and warm memories. Tonight I thank the Lord for reminding me to say "yes" more often and to treasure these few short years that my babies are at home and truly mine.

My name is Heather and I have been the help meet to my wonderful husband, Len, for 20 years. Our children are Hope (18), Lenny (14), Lily (9), Wren (Born to heaven, 10/02), Mary (Born to heaven, 9/03), Lucy (Born to heaven, Early '04), and Peter (5). Five doggies round out our happy brood.    |

We are always so richly rewarded when we do the most for our children! Beautiful!
I am fond of “Horse”. We just got a basketball hoop last week. Now my boys want to play all the time. In fact, one of them is out there now so I will get off the computer and go play!
I am a new reader to your blog, equally pathetic at layups and am also a skirt wearer!
