We have been home from Guatemala for a week now. Jumping back into our schedule here has been a little overwhelming. It makes me stop and really evaluate our activities. Are they beneficial or just make us "busy"? Do they add value to our lives or just stress?
Today is Samuel's 9th birthday. All school and activities are put on hold for the day. He has planned our meals and will be in charge of our schedule for today. He requested scones for breakfast, pizza for lunch and chicken alfredo for supper. He also wanted a chocolate covered cherry cake.
After breakfast this morning, he opened his presents. He received a new wii game from Don and I (which the kids are currently playing!).
Caleb bought him some new legos (which he has already put together!)
Hannah and Bethany made him a snake out of many of Don's old clothes! It even has a rattle in its tail!
We did have tentative plans for the zoo but the new wii game seems to be dominating at the moment! We will see if we make it there. It is good to have a day where we can stop and appreciate the blessings that the Lord has given us. Our "baby" is 9 - no better reason to celebrate than that!!
