“God made a world out of His dreams,
Of magic mountains, oceans and streams,
Prairies and plains and wooded land.
Then paused and thought, “I need someone to stand,
On top of the mountains, to conquer the seas,
Explore the plains and climb the trees.
Someone to start out small and grow,
Sturdy and strong like a tree” and so
He created boys, full of spirit and fun
To explore and conquer, to romp and run
With dirty faces, and banged up chins
With courageous hearts and boyish grins.
And when He had completed the task He’d begun,
He surely said, “That’s a job well done.” -Arthur E. Knight
Dallen got this sweet new book from my Grandma for Christmas and as I was listening to Mark read one of the poems to Dallen before bed, all of these images of Dallen starting running through my mind. I think I could illustrate the entire book with just 2 years worths of pictures of my little man, and I just might if we keep spending sick time inside and getting no new pictures. Dallen is the ultimate boy and I couldn't ask for a better kid!! I love being a Mommy to a boy :)

Please tell me the name of the book your grandmother got Dallen. I love the poem you posted. Dallen is so adorable and remeinds me so much of my little men. Boys are "full of spirit, and [are] fun..."
I think our summer of the flu has just begun. I hope you and your little guy feel better soon.
I mean, winter of the flu...
Seeing Dallen at the beach makes me think of summer. My sister who lives in Chino, CA says that their winter is already over and Summer/Spring has begun. I'm JEAlOUS!!!!
