Me: "You know I'm going to miss you when you're in school all day."

Precious: "You mean I'll get to each lunch at school!"

Sissy as she's running down the stairs: "Mom, we have an emergency!"

Me: "What is it?"

Sissy: "The necklace is in a knot."

Good thing she knows what an emergency is:)

The kids have been begging us to go camping ever since summer started, so last weekend we popped a tent at the lake and roughed it. It was everything I remembered it to be. Hot....uncomfortable....hot! It was definitely worth it to share a special night with the kids. They have been informed that we won't be doing it again for a while though:)

Making Memories

Isn't it funny how it means so much to us when our kids get to experience something that we enjoyed as kids? I got to spent 4 days at El Dorado Lake with my parents and my sister and her family. My kids and their cousins got to bond while swimming in the lake, roasting marshmallows and catching lightening bugs. It's special for me because I got to enjoy those things with my cousins when I was a kid. I have such fond memories of just being silly with my cousins. I pray that my kids will remember those days and cherish them the way I do.
