It Takes A Village

it takes a village to raise our children, to raise a family. We rely on others to help us out and to tell us if they know something about our child, whether we like it or not. Jen said it best the other day in that she loves going to mom's on Sunday because even if it can get loud and crazy it is important to let all of the kids know that they can come to anyone of us and feel safe and talk to. I tell my kids that every day that if they don't feel like they can tell me or Steve, that they need to talk to any of their Aunts or Uncles or even Grandma - even though she can't hear :)... I just want them to know that safe environment that we have.

Can you believe Christmas is less than 10 days away - so much to do in such little time. Okay on the gift front, now it is just everything else. On top of it all is Logan's birthday and my neighbor talked me into having a Neighborhood Christmas Party since she always does the Halloween one, so it looks like we will be throwing a party - woo hoo!

Another busy weekend of soccer games, making cookies and spending time with the family. Lydia and Olivia are in a Christmas dance recital tomorrow, along with Brooke - it should be a great time.

I hope everyone has a great weekend and enjoys this unseasonably warm week!

Miss and love you dad ~ so much.

Much love to all,
