Letters to my sons: Adventurous, confident Landon!

Landon Robert Moring. Oh Landon. I was not prepared for you. I thought your brother had prepared me for what parenting a busy little boy was like. Then you came along and blew my notions of "busy" out of the water. You are self-sufficient, a quiet observer and a quick learner. You are scary. Even when I think I am not underestimating you and that I'm hovering too much, you still manage to sneak some new surprise under my radar.

You are are many things. Adventurous, fearless, Happy, joyful, confident, studious and a quick study. Timid and cautious are not one of them!
