Time with the fam

Around here we are crazy busy..... to say the least. We have about a zillion family events, birthdays, errands and so forth. I am so thankful for my life even though sometimes I feel like its going to spin out of control from all of the stuff we are doing.

A few weeks ago Mike said " I think we should do a Family Home Evening on Mondays". I loved the idea. So far we have gone bowling with Ethan ( the girls would have been crazy the whole time so they stayed with Grandma and Grandpa), and this week we just had a nice night in with a movie. We watched The Princess and the Frog. Ethan had already seen it in the theater but loved watching it again. Sophie had fallen asleep really early and Emma was just playing in her room pretty chill. We decided to see if Emma would come watch with us.....She did and then fell asleep. At almost the same moment Sophie decided her late evening nap was over and woke up. She came down and cuddled with me and watched the rest of the movie.

I loved having my whole family in the same room doing the same thing. With three little busy bodies it doesn't happen very often around here. I am so thankful for my family. It seems like just recently I have been an emotional wreck....in a good way....I just get so overwhelmed with how much I have been blessed. I have a wonderful husband who works so hard for our family and makes me smile every day. I love him so much. He has such a big heart and we have so much fun together. I also have been blessed with not one....but three beautiful, healthy, happy (for the most part) kids. They just make me so happy. I just cant get enough of them. They are so smart and also have big hearts....just like daddy. Just last night on the way to my moms house Ethan said " I love you girls"! He may not get along with them all the time but he sure loves them with all of his heart. One other example that comes to mind is one Sunday on our way home my uncle was holding one of the babies as we were saying goodbye. Ethan thought that he was taking her home and he said " Give us our baby".

Thank you Mike, Ethan, Emma and Sophie for making my life so happy. I love you with all of my heart!
MWAH!!
Most recent Family Home Evening.

Good for you guys! We never manage to do FHE in the summer because we get...too busy like you said. That's a way cute picture though and it makes me think maybe we need to get back on having FHE again.

That's the best! I love doing 'date night' with Colin sometimes and it just feels so good!
