"The fundamental mission of motherhood now is the same as it always was: to nurture, protect, and instruct children, to create a home environment that enables them to learn and grow, to help them develop a heart for God and his purposes, and to send them out into the world prepared to live both fully and meaningfully."

-Sally Clarkson from the Mission of Motherhood

August Happenins

Thought I would combine all these pics into one post. A little here, a little there:

The other day we got to spend some time with our buddy Creighton and his new little brother, Griffin, who is a sweetheart! So precious. (We are so excited about all of Clark's little playmates that have been born this summer and will be this fall. Yay!) I didn't get a pic of Griffin, but here are AM and Creighton "hunting" in his backyard.

Clark slept the playdate away. :)

Belle came to our house with her dashing prince.

The Friday night before school started, our little community of Woodway hosted a "Family Movie Night" where everyone brings their lawn chairs, blankets, etc. and watches a movie together complete with free popcorn, hotdogs, cotton candy, smores, snowcones, glow necklaces (BIG HIT!), and more. We had so much fun! Some friends were there too, and it was a cool night which was exceptionally nice! I loved it because it was the perfect little community outing with not 4 million people trying to do the same thing like in the metroplex! (sorry big city friends, but that's just the way it is...) :)

Clark loved it===slept the whole time.

Oh--I forgot--there was face painting! I don't know if you can tell from this picture, but this little one was SO excited about this night. She LOVED it.

We got to hang out with the Woods!

The next morning Daddy washed his truck along with his trusty sidekick who washed hers.
Got to get all the bugs off!
Sister is serious about her little brother...I love watching them together! ;)

I think the picture of preciuos AM by the fake, bloody deer is my favorite! Too funny! You are right - those things are so much better when you take the big city out of them. Oh how I wish we could live here without all of the "bigness!"
