Do more than belong: participate.
Do more than care: help.
Do more than believe: practice.
Do more than be fair: be kind.
Do more than forgive: forget.
Do more than dream: work.

Sword Fights

My three sons love to fight. (What boy doesn’t, right?)

Oliver (our 3 year old) loves to play Peter Pan and Captain Hook. Today he reminded me (without words) that sword fighting can be just as fun at 28 as it is at 3.

The moments of joy far outweigh the hard work involved in raising young boys.

Today, I was slain by Captain Hook and I am better for it.
