Nurture~

"Then our sons in their youth will be like well-nurtured plants, and our daughters will be like pillars carved to adorn a palace."
Psalm 144:12 NIV

We spent a beautiful and fast weekend with our girl in the city.
It was a much needed winter-wonder getaway.

We did all things city.
Eating.
Shopping.
Playing.
Vintage treasure hunting.

Swimming.....

Not to mention.....a list of tiny home projects that needed done by her daddy.
The girls rent a cute, but quirky, and old bungalow, in the heart of the city.

And as we drove home late last night, whilst little boys slept, we couldn't help but discuss the treasure that has become our daughter.

I'm sure.
Some of you must be thinking......
Wasn't she always a treasure?

Perhaps.
But mother-daughter relations are tricky.
Sometimes prickly.
Sometimes painful.
And always evolving.

And at this stage in my life..... and hers.
I can tell you what took me years and years to learn.

If I, would have quit trying to polish all of her rough edges, on my own, for oh so long.
We, would have had a much more pleasant time in the evolution of it all.

Needless to say.
The world is her oyster, and it is clear to her dad and I.
That she is becoming quite the pearl.

And because I mentioned in my last post about my "word" for the year.
It's only fair to tell you all.....
That I actually have TWO.
And I mentioned it, as well.

I am passionate about it.

Just as I am about this little boy at the top.
My other two boys.
My girl.
My husband.
My life.

And plan to use it accordingly.

There is not a day that goes by that this word does not apply.
