Growth
Tuesday is one day I set aside to catch my kids being good. My friend, Kelly put the seed in my head with her weekly blogging series and even though I may miss writing something I find that every Tuesday I reflect on positive things my kids are doing. Today I have to share about my Cid. While far too often I get this type of sibling jabbing:
On this most recent trip to visit family I witnessed a whole new side to my daughter. She was so loving and caring with all of her cousins. She reveled being big enough to be a babysitter and it’s something she did really well!
So this Pass The Torch Tuesday goes out to her for being such a wonderful and responsible helper last week. I know I’m not the only one who noticed and appreciated her efforts. She truly is growing into a young lady right before my eyes.

We’re Back
Can you say tired of sitting? We just returned from our trip home to visit family in Idaho and let me tell you 16 hours in the car for a bonsai driving trip is a long time to be in the car. And you know you’ve driven that stretch too many times when you recognize tiny changes in the many one car towns you drive through. It was all worth it, especially for the kids who had an absolute blast with all their cousins. My daughter cried the night we had to leave and she’d been there for two weeks! Clearly there was no burnout for her.
The week was packed with fun and entertainment. We started with my husband’s 20 year class reunion, a jam packed memory event. We snuck in a night at the cabin in Island Park, took in a parade, played water games and even got to be there for the new arrival of my sister’s baby. The rest of the week was showered with trips to the movies, eating out and staying up way too late visiting. It makes me so very grateful for the wonderful families both my husband and I have. Family is truly where it’s at.
