Is family time really becoming a lost practise? Saturday we put up our outdoor Christmas lights as a family. Rob did most of the work while the girls and I played tag and ran around acting silly. Then we went for a short walk and just enjoyed the time together. On Sunday at church a man that we do not know came up to Rob to say that he and his wife drove by our home while we were all outside together the previous day and how they thought it was such a beautiful sight to see a family having fun together. He said it's something they don't see anymore. We graciously accepted the compliment but I can't help but think, "why don't families spend time together anymore"? I know we are busy these days. Most families have a mom and dad that both work but come on! What happened to family games and movie nights. What about eating together as a family? I refused to sign Nadia up for a particular activity last year because it would mean 2 nights a week not being able to cook for and eat with my family. Family time is important to me, I think it helps bond our family together. I wish that out society as a whole would put more priority in family time. I'll even go as far to say that if they did maybe more families would stay together.

I don't know why life is so busy, but it is. Everyone seems to be. I remember a time when the entire family used to get together, and now familys are struggling just to eat together at meals. I think you are doing wonderful to put family first even abouve activities. It sure needs to become a priorty again. Thanks for giving me something to think about. Family time is very important to me as well.
I'll try and update later today! Thanks for thinking of me!
