MY KIDS ARE STINKIN’ AMAZING!
Posted by Karen on Jul 23 2008
I just had to share that. Some of the stuff they tackle and accomplish amazes me. Up until this move, I was happy with just the status quo. Stick to what I know and life will be easier. This move has really challenged me to step out of my comfort zone and try something new. Of course, I know full well if I hate it, I can come back to what I know. But I look at my kids and see some of the challenges they’ve overcome and hurdles they’ve leapt, and that challenges me to tackle this one.
How scary it is to dive in head first…..
How much easier it is when someone is holding on…..
How much safer it is to “watch” instead of to “DO!”
KT and Nick, you guys are stinkin’ amazing!

All part of growing up!!! We need to step out of the comfort zone once in awhile…

She’s telling the truth, I am amazing! Not to mention humble too! Nick’s awesome too. I miss him so much! (He’s at camp this week)

KT and Nick are going to take over the world one day, I’m quite sure of it. One stage at a time…

Isn’t it amazing what kids can teach us…Our daughter 9 and son 5 were adjusted faster to our move to Tennessee than we did. They are young and not as set in their ways, jump right in…I am with you on the roller coasters though..

Your kids are amazing but I think they get that from you. Give yourself credit because you have done some pretty amazing things yourself as has Dr. Mike. For example:
Gave up a career you trained for to take on a new career as a homeschool teacher to benefit your children.
Dr. Mike starting up the whole Pediacast and sharing his knowledge with a world wide audience.
For both of you taking the leap of faith to talk to people on the internet. People who were strangers but who you were not going to share experiences with. People who later became friends.
All pretty amazing things and I for one am amazed at you and your whole family!

I keep marveling at Noah riding without his training wheels too. It is just so weird to see him so grown up. He is not faring so well with diving though. Great pictures.

It truly is amazing what we can learn from watching our children. You’re getting pretty phylisophical (sp) on us here. You CAN do this!

I couldn’t agree with you more. Isn’t it simply amazing to watch these guys grow into themselves? Uniquely their own people.
At times like this especially, it’s so good to be the Mom.

I couldn’t agree more! I recognize that pool, and miss those days.

I see your kids as what I hope mine will be like in 8 to 10 years.
