Imitation is the Highest Form of Flattery

My friend Katrina made a sweet post of the Great Eight things that she loves about the two men in her life at her blog, Callapidder Days. It made me think about the things I love about my loved ones as well.

But then I noticed that Katrina's friend Dianne, who has become a blog-friend of mine, decided to copy the idea on her blog: Unfinished Work.

So, I'm not sure if I'm copying Katrina or Dianne, but here is my entry, in honor of Mother's Day, for without them, I wouldn't be experiencing the joy of motherhood.


Terry

• has become so gracious and forgiving of me, teaching me forgiveness, and truly showing me the love of Christ
• supports me in whatever I try to do, even at personal expense (of time or money)
• accepts and tolerates everyone, in a genuine, non-PC sort of way
• is a hard worker, and does what he commits to do
• is a man of integrity
• appeciates my sense of humor
• makes me laugh with his sense of humor
• is the person I most enjoy spending time and sharing life with

Amanda is

• outgoing and kind to others
• honest (even when it might get her in trouble)
• exuberant
• an avid reader (like me and her father and a few generations before her) and a quick learner
• a follower of Jesus, already applying His teachings to her life
• curious and thoughtful
• persistant
• a great playmate for her brother

Kyle

• likes to be the center of attention
• so he's developing quite the sense of humor to get it
• is loud and wild, but will still sit still in my lap to read a book
• has a quickly growing vocabulary that's fun to watch develop
• loves his big sister
• amazes me with his ability to figure things out (like the VCR, DVD, etc)
• melts my heart with random and unexpected kisses and hugs
