point of view

BOY! Yes we found out that the next cutie will be a boy. I am enthusiastic about being a mother of two boys! However J.M. keeps telling me these horror stories about how he and his brother used to fight all the time. How they wrestled and beat each other up, but that it was ok cause now they really like each other. Well great, so they’ll like each other after they moved out of the house? I just hope that these 2 little boys will love each other and stick by each other always. That they will help each other stand up for what’s right. I hope Carter will be a good example and go on a mission and his brother will follow in his footsteps. I am hopeful for them to be powerful influences for good and that everyone will want to be around them because of that. I hope that the girls will flock to them, not because they are handsome, but because they are gentlemen who treat women with respect and value. Two boys is going to be amazing. I am ready for the challenge. I guess the question will be, can I keep up with them? Can I raise good, strong, and loving boys? I hope so, because I have been really feeling the responsibility as a mother to raise them up to be great missionaries and husbands to their wives. I always knew I’d have boys, so this was a real confirmation. It’s funny how you just know some things. Hurray for little boys!
