Well, I have been a little busy lately but that is no excuse for my lack of posting! I have a LOT of things to tell you about! Let's start with family camp. We go every year to Redwood Christian Park. It is the BEST vacation we have ever had. I HIGHLY recommend it no matter the stage of life you are in but IF you have kids it is a must! I would LOVE to show you some pictures of all of the activities the kids had but sadly this year I have few pictures. This year Bryan and I were ... well, ditched! The older kids were off and running and barely stopped to say "Hello Mom, thanks for giving me life". I did not like being tossed aside and next year we are going to force them to eat dinner with us because that is the kind of parents we are!
Ditched...a familiar feeling around here, but insisting that some family time is non-negotiable has also worked for us. We're flexible, if there is something special, but c'mon! There is soooo little time left! We are int he middle of our town carnival weekend...it is 2 blocks from our house and everyone is there all weekend. We go as a family on Thurs., bc that is fireworks night. We just ask that they rejoin us for the fireworks. This year we had 10 extra kids. Oh well, compromise, right??? BTW we have started getting phone calls late--10 or after. JOY! To that Jim or I answer and nicely say that Will cannot accept calls this late, but he will call you tomorrow. UGH! MISS YOU!!!
