At our house

So I thought I would fill you in on what is happening at our house. First of all I must say GO COUGARS!!!! They are still undefeated which provides a feeling of deep peace in our home. Equally exciting for us at this time in the season is...

THE DODGERS

The Dodgers are in the playoffs. They swept the cubs for their first post season series win in 20 years. You can hear us screaming at our house during these games. SO EXCITING!!!

We love...

So while I was listening/watching football and baseball on Saturday I had a little project. I wish I would have taken a before picture but just imagine toys/games shoved in this closet. In fact Dave said to me this morning "I guess I can't just kick stuff into that closet anymore". Here is the after picture. I hung a bunch of new shelves and threw away two garbage cans (small) full of toys. Mostly Happy Meal toys that will probably be very valuable someday.

"In choosing how we spend time as a family, we should be careful not to exhaust our available time on things that are merely good and leave little time for that which is better or best. A friend took his young family on a series of summer vacation trips, including visits to memorable historic sites. At the end of the summer he asked his teenage son which of these good summer activities he enjoyed most. The father learned from the reply, and so did those he told of it. “The thing I liked best this summer,” the boy replied, “was the night you and I laid on the lawn and looked at the stars and talked.” Super family activities may be good for children, but they are not always better than one-on-one time with a loving parent."
