What we have learned

I don't have a good excuse for not posting anything in the last 8 months except life and all that goes with it.  Life continues, we continue to grow as a family, the kids keep growing despite me telling them not to!

What we have learned since coming home in 2014...

- I am still not a patient person and I ask everyday for more opportunities to be patient

- We had room in our hearts to love all of kids, God can stretch it to unimaginable limits!

- Noise is ok, it let's you know you're not alone.

- Peace, don't go to bed until it's been made.  Teach your children this and they will value forgiveness from both ends.

- They should have a shopper of the month at Wal-Mart, Sam's and Aldi's with free food for the winner.  I'm just saying!

- I forgot how much boys smell

- Pancakes on Sundays bring a smile to even the grumpiest of children.

- Teaching family traditions is never wasted time.

- Waiting time with my kids is my favorite time of the day!!

- I love my wife now more than I ever have!

- Mt. St. Laundry is the highest hill in Central Indiana.  I'm pretty sure that's a fact ;)

- The trampoline was a phenomenal investment, for our sanity and to ensure a smooth bedtime.

- We get weird looks when we march in anywhere, two by two.

- We are THAT family

- It's always a good time to dance!
