Fun at home, and a welcome kiss...
Tonight was one of those nights that just felt good to be alive. We barbecued, and had hot dogs and hamburgers, and played. It was fun to enjoy those moments as a family with everyone. The kids are just so much fun! Grace says the funniest things. She said to her daddy tonight, "I am so cute, because mommy cut my hair!" No doubt about it, she just knows.
Bailey and Ryan played with their bubble machine that blows like a thousand bubbles a minute, with Shay enjoying it as well! They were all in the backyard chasing bubbles, and laughing, and I just have to ask...."Does life get any better?" This is how God feels about us I am sure. Watching us, his children, enjoy life with no worries. We are told to have a more "child-like" attitude. This is probably because he wants us to relax and have fun, and just know that he has our next meal, and all the other details of our lives under control. Like watching the kids tonight. They don't stress about anything, because they know that they are taken care of. Someone will make their meals, and help clean it up, and bathe them, and put them to bed with a story and a prayer. Their house will be the perfect temperature, or at least close, and they will sleep in a soft bed. They don't stress because there is no reason too in their world! We should feel this way. We have someone who does the same for us, right?
Scott works so much and comes home so tired...and so happy. He is really enjoying working so hard. Can you believe that? The man wants to get dirty, and sweaty, and make his muscles ache, do I get any more blessed as a woman? I could never be him! I am just happy to be his wife, and take care of him when his day is through. That's my favorite part. :) I like his welcome home hug when he comes in, even if he is all dirty and sweaty, I just like being the one he comes home to hug! It still feels so nice. I heard at Bible study on Friday, that we should always go out of our way to greet our husband with a kiss. It makes them feel so welcome when they come home, but I think I enjoy it just as much! Just a word of encouragement to the ladies, I think it matters so much to stop what you are doing and welcome your man home from a long day at work with a big smooch! (Don't leave your baby if you are diapering him/her on the table to do this, or that could cause big trouble, but other than that, there can't be anything so pressing that can't be put off for a few seconds, right:)
Blessings on you and your families!

Jess, you always write so well. I loved you talking about how your children feel safe and content and the analogy. I loved the details on their routine, and knowing what to expect. I found it so sweet and said as much to Shaun and then read it to him aloud. I am so glad you love taking care of your family so much. You've made so much out of your life and it's inspiring...how much you appreciate all God gives you and how hard you work to give your kids consistency. Thank you for sharing, as always.
Katie
