Juggling Family Matters

I thought this picture was cool and seeing as how our family is getting together this weekend it was somewhat appropriate. I guess it just gives me a sense of what life is all about. Ever since our first child was born we dedicated our efforts to our family. We did some pretty cool stuff together and have some fun memories. Of course, not all of our experiences were fun and games.

I guess this is where I am supposed to tell some sort of family story...... like the family trip to Oregon and siging songs around the camp fire and having the others campers join us because it seemed like we were having fun. Especially the times we tried to make up verses to "One black bug bit the back of a bear as another black bug bit back!" etc. Then as the temperature started to fall we realized that we had left all of our coats home and had to run to Walmart and buy some for us to stay warm! Sometimes we were such dorks! Singing "The ants go marching one by one" and I stopped to put a couple of branches in the back of my shirt so I looked like a reindeer. (Yes, it is on video and each of the kids have a copy of this dork moment.)

As everyone gets ready to come and visit for Eric's graduation I am hoping for a few dork momnets again! They always seem to be the very things that measure a family and our ability to love one another.
