We spent the weekend sweating our little behinds off at the famous "Wooden Boat Festival" where we live. Didn't even know about it last year, so this year we decided we must go. Who knows where we may roam in the next year anyway. So we went, we conquered, we sweated, we ate, we ran inside big plastic balls, we caught beads (because Louisiana can turn any event into one with beads), we made wooden boats, and then we dragged our dehydrated selves back to our car. And I'm thinking unless the weather is about 20 degrees cooler next year, I'm ok with hanging out at home. And saving ourselves lots of money. It's all for the family oneness.....and the memories. Hopefully they kids won't remember the fight they had over dippin' dots, sitting on the edge of the pier to watch the boat race and almost pushing a sibling in, or who got the last sip of the lemonade. It's all for the family oneness.......and can't we all use a little more of that?!
Mom of three super fun and super cool children (Caleb, Grace, Madeline) and wife to one super cool dude - Andrew. Just living life and trying to do the best we can to mold these little sprouts into who God designed them to be. And trying to be "IN" the moments with them rather than looking back and wishing we had spent more time together as a family. And...to be content. Content with where I am in life as a wife and mom. Content with the circumstances God brings into our lives. Life moves by at warp speed, and I want to be present for it. (Jer. 29:11)
