Week's end

I didn't blog over the weekend, and to be honest, I didn't even think about it. The time flew by and there's very little to show for it. But even though it doesn't show now, it will. Zaven and Caly both got to spend some time with their friends. You would think that wasn't much of a big deal. But it's amazing how fast time is slipping away. With four kids, each in their own activities, there really isn't much of an opportunity to simply spend time with a friend. It's hard to decide what takes priority when it comes to our time, and even harder to stick with that decision. But I've always made an effort for them to get the chance to simply be kids. To have a friend spend the night, to stay up late watching movies and eating popcorn, to just hang out... those things are just as important as a fancy Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings. Heck, when you're a kid, they're far more important. And those are the times that heal your soul.
