Perspective

It seems like at the end of the day there is always something I could have done differently.



I could have done more.



I could have had MORE patience.

More fun.

Done more of the things the girls like to do.



Accomplished more of my to-do list.



Been a better spouse.

A better friend.

A better person.



Given more.



Been more open.

More honest.



Just been MORE than I am. What I know I could be.



But tonight I sit here after learning about the death of my babysitter's sixteen year-old brother. An accident. Senseless. And it terrifies me that I may be MORE-ing my life away.



I have three beautiful, hilarious, quirky wonderful children.



I GET TO stay at home and take care of them.

I GET TO be married to my best friend.



I don't ever want to forget how amazing that is.



Tonight I am going to fall asleep praying for Kellie and her family, and thanking the Lord for mine.

Visiting the Lake

We went to my sister Karen's cabin on Lost Island Lake over Memorial weekend. We had such a great time. Madeline LOVED the water and couldn't get enough. Zella was a little more skeptical but still had fun. Violet loved being on the boat and roaming the dock. I was afraid she was going to jump off the dock. She has no fear!

Madeline spent a lot of time driving the boat.
