"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

Memorial Day

We had a beautiful, memorable Memorial day. We kicked it off with a swim date with the Hensleys on Saturday night. Here are Drew and Clark enjoying the kiddie pool:
Sunday night we went to a "Legacy Family Ministries" event at Whitehall park complete with bounce houses, waterslides, face painting, Double R burgers, and desserts from Simply Delicious. So much fun because so many of our friends were there! Here is AnnMarie with her good buddy, Caroline.
There was also an egg toss! Sean and Joseph came in third!
Clarky chowed down on a hot dog.
We also had snow cones! Our sweet friends Kimberly and Griffin:
But wait, there's more! AnnMarie took her first swing at a pinata, and I'm telling you, this girl may just need to get into Tball sooner than later!
phew! we were SwEaTy! Poor Clark's eczema was AWFUL.
On Monday we celebrated with the fam out at Mom and Dad's. AM had fun pushing B around!
And we sat around the kid pool in a redneck sort of way
Ah---it wouldn't be summer without icee pops
Hooray!
I did not let this weekend slip by without remembering WHY we were able to enjoy such a relaxing weekend with our families. Thank you to all who serve, all who've served, and all who will serve for us, the Americans who are safe because of you.
