I have to admit... life is pretty great most of the time. I am so grateful for an amazing husband who sees the importance of doing things with his family and actually acts upon it. Brian is an amazing dad who loves to hang out with the kids. Since his work schedule allows him to have a couple days off a week, we make sure we do something fun as a family each week. These are just some of the fun things we've been up to.
First off... we went on our usual walk down to the bridge by our house to "throw rocks". The kids could spend hours doing this. Usually this event takes place a couple times a week while dad's at work, but this time, he was lucky enough to attend this "ritual".
Saturday was spent doing the annual cutting down the Christmas Tree. It's a great tradition Brian's family started years ago. We drive south a couple hours and hike around the mountain side to find that "perfect tree"..This year we decided to go BIG!!! Brian found a good 17 footer that we are looking forward to figuring out how we're going to decorate! And as usual, Kaden got his very own tree for his room.
Last night we had "bowling night". Kaden informed us all that we were going bowling. He's never been before, and I don't think we've ever talked about it, but he thought that would be fun to do, so off we went. He did really well and we all had a blast! I am so appreciative for those little moments when we take time to stop and enjoy life. I get so distracted each day with the unimportant things that I often fail to recognize the joy in throwing rocks in a pond or taking the time to play in the leaves. It's these precious moments that life is all about.
