Love reading your posts...and love your wr...Nancy,<br /><br />Love reading your posts...and love your writing.<br /><br />Like many on here I've benefitted from your parenting of your 4 kids. The example that you and Jeff have provided has been extremely valuable through the years.<br /><br />Part of experiencing that has been through the relationships Ashley and I have developed with each of your children through the years in different ways. <br /><br />With Abby I'll never forget how she used to spend the night with us at our first apartment at Ginny's vineyard. We'd make hot dogs and she'd sleep on that old, hard wicker couch, then we'd bring her to church with us on Sunday.<br /><br />With Joseph, well, first of all he bit the fire out of my cheek when he was 2...still kinda mad about that. But, we connected from a sports and hunting perspective early on and, wow, what a fine young man he's become!<br /><br />Anna Grace has always had a special place in our family for several reasons. I've cherished the relations she and Alex have had since they were babies and now she spends so much time at our home.<br /><br />With Rebekah I've enjoyed getting to really know her more as an adult as a mom and wife and getting to know and love her family.<br /><br />The point is...I've seen the influence you and Jeff have had on your children since they were babies....and much of it is through the relationship we've developed with them through the years.<br /><br />-ScottBrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03172347321435271108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9100340357884608638.post-51933084099616198852010-11-28T21:39:23.714-08:002010-11-28T21:39:23.714-08:00ALL of these are wonderful and have opened my eyes...ALL of these are wonderful and have opened my eyes to things I need to change and to new things I need to incorporate! Our girls often want to help me in the kitchen and I sometimes don't let them. It's not that I don't want their help, but a small fear that they will get a cut or burn...and a fear of my kitchen being messy! Thank you for reminding me that ALL messes can be cleaned up without any problem! And I think tomorrow after school, we'll all bake a cake together! Thank you, Mrs. Nancy!!Amy Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02350582905658495434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9100340357884608638.post-84821081455257412152010-11-25T07:12:29.608-08:002010-11-25T07:12:29.608-08:00Good stuff, Nan!

When I was in high school, we lived directly across the street from the school. I went home for lunch every day. Quite often, Dad would say, "Don't go back for the afternoon. I want to spend some time with you." Oh, how I loved those days.Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16373676662339145163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9100340357884608638.post-78971010467092495212010-11-23T22:35:37.580-08:002010-11-23T22:35:37.580-08:00Mrs. Nancy, I am with Mary Beth, Ithink I may just...Mrs. Nancy, I am with Mary Beth, Ithink I may just print these out and put them in a special place. I know I haven't seen you in a while with Jay and I going to Gateway now. But I just love reading your blog. It is so inspirational. With a small child (and one on the way) it is so easy to become impatient and realize that what there little hands are doing is just trying to help and be near us.
