I am missingYOU on the blog!
I know it is a crazy time of year. I am suppose to be at Joel's class picnic and had to decline so I could be ready with bells on for Ana's dance pictures, Seth's soccer game and Joel's baseball game tonight. So, I sat down to check in with my friends at Grace noticing the blog has been bare for awhile.
Now that it is SUMMER VACATION I was wondering what creative ways you work and play with famiy and friends? I am asking for ALL ages. Do you give allowances? Do you get pool passes? One year I taught my boys to prayer journal some liked it while others did not.
What about your husbands? Do you have romantic picnics in the park? I continue to dream of Italy:) Maybe I will have to try and recreate Italy in IOWA!
How about friends? I was thinking I should intentially walk more inviting friends along. Larry's question has been haunting me from Sunday. Do you fellowship in your home with the people sitting around you on Sunday morning? I used to do better than I do now and maybe that could be where I start this summer for all AGES!
I loved Hebrews and I am missing a series to study in my daily devotions so do any of you know where Pastor Roger is headed next?
Well, thanks for being my friend this day and taking time to read the blog!
Love, Lissa
Lissa,
ReplyDeleteYes, we got pool passes for Avery & Carver. And I must admit I've hired out entertaining my big boys for the summer - to Liz Tvedt and Megan Bruxvoort. And then our evenings and weekends seem consumed with baseball and soccer right now.
But tonight was a change. We were home. I built mega block towers with Davis, so he could tear them down. Carver was jumping on the trampoline with neighbor friends. And Avery was pitching and catching with Lance. Delightful!
No romantic picnics. But Lance and I do look forward to our annual trip to the Kansas Speedway for the NASCAR races.
A highlight every month is card club with friends. And I really really want to restart the small group Cards & Calories in our home (after fasting has completed). Every so often we also have late night around the fire pit with neighbors. Chatting with parents at ball games seems our current social life, and my nightly connections through facebook.
Lissa, thank you for a post that prompted me to comment and share.
Your friend,
Trish VZ
Hey Lissa!
ReplyDeleteI took take alot of vacation time in the summer because I love being home then and going to the pool and the library and ball games.
I took an entire week off this week and I have big plans to do an extreme make over of Isaac and Jett's room and also have a garage sale. My motivation is the big fat nap I am going to take on Sunday.
Hope you are having a great time with your family!
