We just celebrated our 10th anniversary. Wow! My parents watched our four kiddos while we went camping-just the two of us. It took a little time to remember how to talk to each other, but after that we had a wonderful time. We spent time in God's word, praying together, reminiscing about all that God has brought us through(highs and lows), and thought about a vision for the future.
Our family verses are Romans 12:1-2.
Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God-this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Our family is definitely a work in progress and we are learning as we go. God is good and leads us patiently down his path.
PS We are not perfect by any standard. On the last night we miscommunicated about something minor. That turned into a heated argument with lots of hurt feelings. The next morning we were doing much better. Overall, the positives far outweighed the negatives on this trip!

The Knack
My husband has the Knack. Here is how it is explained in a Dilbert cartoon:
"I'm afraid your son has the Knack - It's a rare condition characterized by an extreme intuition about all things mechanical and electrical."
This is a very amazing gift to have. He is able to fix just about anything: computers, anything in, on, or around the house, etc. Anything that can be taken apart and put back together is fair game.
Just last week he found a piano keyboard in someones garbage on the side of the road. It did not have a cord with it. So, he brought it home, found an extra cord in his stash, and charged it up. He took it apart, cleaned it up, and put it back together. He turned it on and it works wonderfully. We now have piano lessons as part of our homeschool!!
So...I am sure you will hear much more about the projects my husband brings home for us.
