"For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "Plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."

Quality Time as a Family

God has truly blessed our family in more ways than we can ever imagine. We have four boys that each have their own loving qualities and bring such enjoyment to our lives. One of the most important things we can do as a family is spend quality time with one another. This summer we were able to do just that. We spent time on Stockton Lake on our new boat, which we really love. We spent some time in Branson in a wonderful cabin with family and enjoyed all the fun activities that Branson has to offer. Matthew surprised us with a trip to Kansas City and we had some fun at the Great Wolf Lodge. Of course don't forget the baseball games we attended in Springfield and St Louis--Go Cards. All of these activities sound like so much fun, but one of the best things we did as a family was our little camp fire in the back yard, roast some hotdogs and just relax for the evening. It's those moments that we will cherish forever and always remember the quality time we spent as a family.
