In times of test, family is BEST!

You never know what is around the corner. Life is good, bad and full of surprises. BUT, we don't have to endure our experiences alone! That is why God has blessed us with the amazing gift of family. We also like to keep our family growing by adding to it in the form of friends. No matter how crazy we may be, and believe me, no one is arguing that point;), we stick to each other like glue! We are always there for each other, as it should be. The following is a reminder to my children on what our family means to us:

"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter, and those that matter don't mind!"

That quote is from Dr. Seuss and I love it! So much wisdom in that statement.

 We don't deserve our Father's love... we already have it! Kind of like our family:)

 Our family is truly our greatest blessing...

 If you look closely, you will see the spirit of those that came before us; all alive at this very moment. They are each a thread that represents the love shared throughout our history...

Treat your friends like family, and your family like friends!

 Our children will usually follow our example, not our advice...

 Never let an angry sister comb your hair...

 Thank you God for reminding us of how much you love us through your precious gift of family...
