I gave you a little wink and smile
As you entered my room today.
For I know how hard it is to leave
And know your child must stay.
You've been with her for five years now
and have been a loving guide,
But now, alas, the time has come
To leave her at my side.
Just know that as you drive away
And tears down your cheeks may flow
I'll love her as I would my own
And help her learn and grow.
For as a parent, I too know
How quickly the years do pass
And that one day soon it will be my turn
To take my child to class.
So please put your mind at ease and cry
those tears no more
For I will love her and take her in
When you leave her at my door.
*Faith's teacher gave me this poem and a pack of tissues when we left today
Here we are . . . our little family. It is hard work but we have managed! We work hard for what we have and are very appreciative for every day we have together. We may not have it all together, but together we have it all!
Our 3 Little Monkies
This is Faith. She is 7, and she is quite the little girl. She loves to be outside playing in the dirt: hiking, camping, she loves it. She helps a lot with her brothers and is very much a "little mother". She is doing awesome in school and is loving second grade. She has lots of friends and everyone seems to love her. She is a very genuine little girl and really cares about people. She is very creative and out going and fun to be around.
This is Kyler, and he is 5. He is a little ball of energy. He is kind hearted and sensitive and doesn't like people to be mad at him. He will be the first one to greet you and always thanks you for coming. He loves to be outside riding his 4-wheeler and hates to have his hands dirty. He loves to read and is great at math. His Daddy is his hero and would spend every waking moment with him if he could. For every weird noise Jeremy makes Kyler has one to match. He is OBSESSED with trucks and tractors and has a noise for everything.
This is Jax and he is 3. And is the center of attention for sure! He is very happy and laid back. He loves to play with Faith and Kyler and can't wait to be big. He is into everything. He is an old soul and speaks like he has had loads of life experience. He is a snuggler but when he is ready to go to bed wants his own space. He thinks the sun rises and sets with his Daddy and wants to do everything he and Kyler are doing. It was rough getting him here but he is well worth it!
Hey! We are Jer and Mel. We have been together for 10 years now and have worked really hard to get where we are today. We are proud of our family and wouldn't change a thing.
