My Friday night...

Friday nights are some of my best memories of my little family! As the weather warms so do these memories!! Picture with me...Daddy arrives home to shouts and hugs and talk of weekend days home:) Than a kiss for Mom before running out to the yard for some game, tag, baseball, soccer, bikes in the driveway. It really doesn't matter the amusement, more the time spent with Daddy. Inside Mommy begins to unwind from the week while preparing a meal for the kids and an appetizer for the parents. A smile on her face as see hears the joyful noise outside! You may wonder why no dinner for the grown-ups, well, this is date night in this house. Not usually out, or anything fancy, but a time to sit as a couple and re-connect. Sometimes its a romantic setting, others just happy to eat without being asked to cut something, other times just time to plan the weekend ahead without interruption. After the kids are feed, there is usually a game or story. The nightly bedding routine, pj's, teeth, prayers and bed. As the house settles and the parents reconvene in the kitchen to begin their dinner, it is with happy, tired hearts that they reflect on the blessings in their lives that they never knew were possible. These are the times of our lives, the moments to treasure in our hearts, gifts from our creature!
