This weekend is "our family weekend." As most of you know, Kevin and I work oppisote days in order to keep our children out of daycare. It has been rough, we both have a career we are passionate for....and to be honest...me escaping to work twice a week has allowed me to be a better mother. This means Kevin and I do not see each other very much...he too is very involved with his career, school, his teaching, committees, etc. We conflict with our schedules twice a month which means that the boys go to a sitters, and then we all have 2 days off together!! We make a conscious effort to do something fun together...we attempted to find a place through Trendwest to stay the weekend at the beach...it did not work out! The boys were sad...but we ended up taking them swimming, and then the see "Enchanted" at the Kennedy School (one of our favorite stops these days) for cheese pizza and a comfy couch to watch a movie in! We had a blast! The boys are exhausted, but it was such a fun day!!! Though we wish we could do this everyday, I hope we have enough of these for them to have good memories of our fun "family days" together.

You guys are doing great!! It's the quality not the quantity of things you do that they will remember when they are older and look back on their childhoods.
I love that you and Kevin make so many sacrifices to keep your kids out of daycare...I SO think that is what the Lord wants us to do...raise our own children!! I'm proud of you...SO proud!! ...R...
