My love affair with blue-eyed boys started when I was 17 years old. I met, started dating and fell in love with my first blue-eyed boy.
He is my one true love and an absolute anchor in my life. He is and always has been the spiritual leader of our home. He is the provider that God built him to be. He is the adventurer who makes my life so much more exciting. Most importantly, because of him I have so many more blue-eyed boys to love. 
This is the second blue-eyed boy who stole my heart. His blue eyes sparkle when he is happy. His smile is big and beautiful and his laugh is infectious. His is able to envelop you in his hugs. He brought the best daughter-in-law into our family. He works hard providing for his family. I am fortunate enough to have him close by.Twenty months later this young man enter my life and those blue-eyed captured another piece of my heart. He is a deep thinker and feeler. He fascinates me with his ability to build community around him. There is very little gray area with this one, black-and-white is where he has always lived. He lives far away from me so I cherish the moments when he is close.
And just when you think your heart cannot be any fuller, another blue-eyed boy enters your life. This is my first blue-eyed grandson. He is beautiful. He is sweet. He is smart. Okay I know that every grandma thinks her grandchildren are the best but mine really are. He loves trains and TV. He loves school and adores his mommy. He is five now and pretty much knows everything.
Seventeen months later this little guy with big, round blue eyes entered our lives. He eyes are so round and expressive you can tell what he is thinking. He is mischievous and daring. He is his father's son. He loves his big brother and does not like being without him. He is three (and a half) and is not a baby anymore--he will tell you this.
The latest blue-eyed boy to enter, fill and steal my heart is now seven months old. He is pretty new on the scene so he is just figuring things out. He loves to be in the mix with his big brothers. He has dimples that you can drown in. He has his mommy wrapped around his tiny baby fingers. His eyes literally light up when he looks at you.So, you ask, what have you learned about life from all these blue-eyed boys? Well, when anyone tells me that brown eyes--which are the color of mine--are dominate, I literally laugh out loud. I couldn't ask for more love and joy that all of these guys have brought to my life. Each of these boys have taught me something new and have challenged me in ways I never thought possible. I don't know what the future holds and how many, if any, more boys--or heaven forbid girls--are destined for my heart but I know that with each addition my heart gets a little bigger to make room.
