Do you ever get to the point where you feel like you need to re-group as a family and start from scratch again? Jamie and I came that realization this weekend that we need to go back to do the basics with our children again. What that mainly includes doing is finding the joy in the simple pleasures of life and enjoying one anothers company again. We have decided that there will be no more t.v. for a while, and gone with the game boys and playstations (not that they play them a lot). It seems to us that they and us have forgotten how to play together and how to play with their toys using their imaginations, so it was time for a change for all of us. I can already see a good change in that this morning before church the boys where actually playing together with minimal fighting which was lovely. I don't know how long we will do this but for a while to get back on track and enjoying each other again instead of running off and doing other things.
Rylan and I stayed home from church today as he woke up with croup. It of course comes after we had just gone to the doctors about his coughing and he had no cough only to have it come back three days later. I can see that we will be making another trip to the doctors this week. But it was nice to get everyone else ready for church for 1:00, then put Rylan down for a nap and read for a while with no interuptions. I have been reading "Mary and Joseph" for our church book club which is this Wed. at my house. It has been a very instereing book to ready about what life was like when the Savior was born. I really look forward to each month and book club other wise I might not read as much as I do even though I love it.
Jamie was up this morning getting dinner ready and thank goodness we have two crock pots because in the one he has a lovely smelling roast on the go and in the other one he is trying a new desert. I can't wait I have been smelling it all day. I am thankful for a husband that loves to help and do his part.
