Happy 7th Anniversary

I am so behind in my blogging. We celebrated my brother's, dad's, and mom's birthday. The pictures didn't turn out well. I think the camera was on a certain setting and I didn't know how to change it.

So, here is one that is actually on time.

Happy anniversary! We were able to sneak away tonight thanks to the help of four of our dear family members. It was our first time at Ruth Chris' Steakhouse. My favorite part was this chocolate molten dessert. It was so nice to actually have a conversation. It also took effort for me to eat slowly and enjoy the food. I'm so used to taking care of the kids and picking things off the floor. I just shove and pick up, shove and pick up, take someone to the bathroom, and shove. Repeat in whatever order.

So tonight, we had a meal together. We were able to reflect on this year and some of our goals for our family for this upcoming year. One of the themes that kept coming up for me is that I will be investing in the things that really matter. Matters of the heart. I really believe that God has called us to keep our children close this year. So we have come to the decision that we will be homeschooling this year. We are one of those people! Please pray for us. I need God to pour out His patience over me. Please come and give me more you, Lord and less of me.
