I am a 40something mom of four great kids. They are all different and all require their own sort of parenting. I'm sorry that they didn't come with an instruction booklet, but hubby and I have learned alot along the way. It's amazing how God can make us grow into stronger, more understanding people after raising four very unique children. Hubby is a pastor... engineer... quiet kind of guy with a sensitive soul. Momma is a talker... nervous... fun-loving... perfectionist. God has been good to us and we are still learning as we travel down life's interesting road.
