Here's To My Boys!

I am extremely proud of my boys. They are my world and keep me sane. I realize that every parent is proud of their kiddos, but I think I have some pretty special boys. So today, I would like to write just a little bit about Noah and Caleb Hamp.

Noah

 

This is my son, Noah. He will be 15 in July. Noah has the most amazing heart. He is kind, generous, loyal and gives the best hugs. Although he towers over me these days, Noah treats me with respect. He opens doors for me, tells me he loves me, worries about me. Noah has incredible insight and wisdom, beyond his years. The empathy and compassion he has for others, challenges and inspires me. Noah's name means, "a gift from God who will bring peace." Noah is always quick to notice people who are the underdog and seeks to make them feel included. Noah's heart for other people is amazing. He is a treasure!



This is my son, Caleb. He is 12, and is almost as tall as me. As you can see, Caleb has a million dollar smile! He is a firecracker, who is full of energy, but Caleb also has a heart of gold. He has an affinity for fixing things and is quite the handy man around our house. Caleb has incredible work ethic. He started his own poop scoop business last summer and made some great money. Caleb also reaches out to the underdog, and has performed acts of kindness for friends in need, many times. Caleb's name means, "faithful," and you won't find a more loyal or faithful person.



When I look at this picture, my heart sings. I truly am the luckiest Mom in the world. My boys have been through a tough two years, yet they are NOT bitter. They are normal kids and have their moments, as we all do, but they are happy, healthy boys who have a heart for other people. Often, when they hear about other kids whose parents are divorced, they either pray for those kids, or figure out a way to help them.

 

I am proud of my boys. They are strong, young men who don't let circumstances get them down. I have no doubt God has BIG plans for my men of God. I am grateful God entrusted them into my care and pray for wisdom in raising them. I know many of you have prayed for Noah and Caleb over the last two years and I want you to know God has heard those prayers. Please keep praying for them! I am excited to see where life takes them.

 

My testerone-filled house with talks about farts, burps, balls and other strange conversations is one I wouldn't trade for anything. Noah and Caleb, thank you for making my life rock! I love you, to infinity and beyond!
