We are a faith based family, with a fun based attitude!
I put together a couple of things. The first is obviously pictures of the girls and the family, then their handprints. That one turned out cute. I have some really great pics of the girls without being a professional photographer! The other is Josiah's t-shirt that one of our nurses at the hospital made for Josiah and had him "wear" on father's day 2 years ago. I put some pictures of Milo and Josiah in there and then matted the frame with one of Josiah's blankets. Boy was it good to open and dig through the bins of Josiah's things for this project. It's the first time I've opened them since we have moved here. I just kept taking in deep breaths of his blankets. The last frame is a picture of a magazine we received in the mail the day we made the announcement at Ridgeview that we would be leaving to move to Buffalo. I think I'll share the significance of that magazine in another post.
On the wall opposite Milo's desk I put this scripture (so he has to look at it all day!) as a subtle reminder from his wife to slow down and make sure his focus is right. God is doing some great things at theWELL and Milo and I are so humbled to be a part of what God is doing. As one of the pastors of theWELL we feel such a responsibility for our family to stay connected to the "Source." Serving at theWELL is an awesome privilege.
We had such an amazing time as a family camping. It was so nice to get away, relax and enjoy God's creation. Stony Brook is a beautiful place that I grew up enjoying with my parents and brothers. It was a treat to take my girls there. We left on Thursday after Milo got home from work. By the time we set up our tent and I got around to making dinner it was after 9pm! So we ate at the picnic table enjoying chicken fajitas by lantern light (thanks to my uncle Mike who dropped by our house earlier in the day with a lantern for us!). It was great! The girls stayed up for a campfire and then fell asleep in the tent. Milo and I stayed around the fire for awhile enjoying each others company and good conversation. I love my husband so much!
The hike certainly wore the girls out and they both crashed in the tent for an late afternoon nap! Milo even fell asleep in the hammock. Doesn't get much better than that!
Spent the evening cooking dinner over the campfire and making s'mores!
