Happy 4th of July!!!
I hope you are celebrating in a way that honors you, your family and our country.... I have to ask myself am I? Have I taught my children what the meaning of this day is and what a blessing that we live in a country where we have freedom....well most of the time. I could do more and I will...This is a process and part of my life long job called parenting...
We are so thrilled that my niece Lauren arrived today. I received a call from my sister Kim last week and she was saying how bored Lauren's summer was and I suggested she come to hang with us in Florida....well a few phone calls and some frequent flyer miles and she has appeared. Drew and Mariah have been so excited about her arrival and I must say I really liked the fact that they would get to spend some time together. Lauren is 16, a rising junior with a drivers license, and a truck to cruise around in an avid reader and oh so smart, beautiful and great with my kids ...I have to brag I think my sister and her husband have done a great job of parenting her and love to see and hear her developing into a productive member of society !!! You ROCK Lauren!!
We have been really busy during our 6 week stay in Fl. Time is going so quickly and before we know it we will be heading home and starting school.
I have to close now the kids are at the movies and when I pick them up will will come home to shoot fireworks.
Much love and peace to you and yours!!!
Many blessing,
Missy
