Fourth of July Weekend (Day 1)

We have been waiting for a good weekend to kick back since we have been so busy lately and now we finally have one. My pastor recently gave me a book to read called The Rhythm of Life. It is about taking time for yourself and your family. I have learned more in this book than any other book i have ever read. That's why this weekend we are staying home to take advantage of the time off. Our older children are going to be coming over Saturday  to grill , Sunday is the Lords day, and on Monday we will spend our time with the younger children. They are looking forward to fireworks. We are not exactly sure how Jonathan will react but hopefully he will do ok. I will be posting each day to show our activities and how we are spending our days. Tonight Jud and Heidi came by and we are roasting marshmallows and making S’mores.
