Live in the Moment

Author Anna Quindlen reminds us not to rush past the fleeting moments. She said: “The biggest mistake I made [as a parent] is the one that most of us make. . . . I did not live in the moment enough. This is particularly clear now that the moment is gone, captured only in photographs. There is one picture of [my three children] sitting in the grass on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages six, four, and one. And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less”(Loud and Clear [2004], 10–11).

Camp Cailey

While the men are gone the girls (plus Rylan & Cole) will play!
Cailey had her 2nd annual sleepover.
This year we called it Camp Cailey.
We had 8 girls all together.
They made camp t-shirts, crafts, caught frogs (ewww!),
watched "The Parent Trap", roasted marshmellows,
made yummy smores, & they even got to sing around the campfire.

Cole had a good time,
and he got plenty of attention from all the ladies. :)

Camp Cailey ROCKS!!!!
