Kerrof5: Do they ever really grow up?

Mothers Who Know

"Mothers who know" do less. They permit less of what will not bear good fruit eternally. They allow less media in their homes, less distraction, less activity that draws their children away from their home. Mothers who know are willing to live on less and consume less of the world’s goods in order to spend more time with their children—more time eating together, more time working together, more time reading together, more time talking, laughing, singing, and exemplifying. These mothers choose carefully and do not try to choose it all. Their goal is to prepare a rising generation of children who will take the gospel of Jesus Christ into the entire world. Their goal is to prepare future fathers and mothers who will be builders of the Lord’s kingdom for the next 50 years. That is influence; that is power." ~Julie Beck

Do they ever really grow up?

My kids are sitting around my living room playing with Rebecca's car track and entertaining my 2 year old neighbor. I love that even though they are teenagers they can still have fun.

We had a fun Halloween, Darren went to a party, Jessica and Stephanie went trick or treating with their different friends, Rebecca went with Ryan and the neighbors and Kathryn and I stayed home and partied. She decided to skip the party in Saratoga which worked out because I really went to bed at 8:15 that night. Rebecca came home to hand out candy because that is her favorite thing to do:) Happy Halloween!!
