okay...so let's be honest...we are just figuring out quiet time for ourselves regularly, it's a hard road to include family quiet times. i will say it is sporadic at best and ever changing. some days it's at breakfast, some days it's the whole family, sometimes it's just me and the kids. sometimes it whichever kid i can get to sit still. but it is a special time no matter what and we desire it to become a part of the kids' DNA and to love it and need it as much as we do. This is Toby and I...we learned a great principle that is going to become the boys' key motto now: "Do not let evil defeat you. Defeat evil by doing good!" i love it. my boys are all about good and evil and this gives them something to hang their cape on...if you will!
sweet annie...ever the conscientious one trying to do her best and please mommy and daddy...may she KNOW she is LOVED for WHO she is and not for what she can DO!
