This past weekend was so jam packed for us. We hit the ground running on Friday night and didn't stop until Sunday night. Dinner with the Knights and Grandma, yard work, family soccer, running with a good friend (twice!), Mike playing tennis, lunch at Johnny Rockets (50's style dinner-boys favorite!), yard work, playing in the hose, spending time on the deck, church, watching movies, Lego Star Wars, birthday shopping, yard work, and playing outside. Needless to say we didn't have a lot of down time.
As I reflect back over the weekend I realize what a blessing our busyness was. Yes, our weekend was hectic, but it was a happy chaos. It was a weekend with a purpose and a lot was accomplished. But the biggest accomplishment to me was the amount of time we spent together as a family.
On Sunday, as we were on our way out the door Caleb said, "Lets hit the road for Family soccer." I love that he called Family soccer. It made me realize that these habits we are establishing now: eating dinner together, working together, playing together, being a family, are so important. We are giving our children the beautiful foundation of family. They are learning to trust, to look out for, and to love one another. I love that we had such a busy weekend filled with just being family.
