We sat outside last night eating dinner and the question came, directed at Reese.  He smiled and said "salad and vegetables, grains and milk."   We were home-free had he not continued talking.   "And dad," he said excitedly, "bought me an Oreo Frappe from Mocha Joe’s every morning!"

We enjoyed our time together in so many ways.  The boy has struggled making the move here and over the past three weeks I began to see the happy boy emerge again.  We missed the girls and there is a certain equilibrium that has returned with their presence.

My advice?  Spend time with your kids.  Forget about working endlessly to buy stuff they don’t need or stuff that will break (or as Jesus said, will rust or moths will destroy).

You cannot put a price on the time you spend with kids.  Don’t you dare leave a comment about quality time over quantity time.  You never know when the quality time will happen.  It’s in the quantity that we are able to discern the quality.
