Life

Sometimes, life is tough--plain and simple. Lately, our family has literally been swamped with activities: Baking for the graduation, music lessons, theory class, doctor appointments, orchestra concerts, and believe me, if my mother was beside me now she could produce much more. But hey, just because life is hard, doesn't mean it can't be fun! One of the greatest blessings of having a large family is conversation--time simply zooms by when telling your older brother how cool is robot dance is, or explaining the meaning of friendship to your sister. While homeschooling, our Mom taught us the meaning of teamwork...and torture! haha...kidding. Usually swamped with chores, she will frequently (with out reserve!) deligate tasks to us older kidlings. Whether its was laundry, washing walls, or raking the yard, we all pitch in to get the job done. As we work, we tell jokes, make up songs, listen to the radio, have a sock fight (really fun!), pop eachother with towels, and talk about our day. What we really enjoy the most is when Adam tells us funny stories about his days at school, or when he sings us a funny song. On car trips, we all sing songs, play card games, and complain about the cold. There's so much more that I haven't shared, so much that our family as experienced that has brought us closer together. My mom and dad are wise and loving parents, our eldest brother is more than supportive, and our younger siblings--though sometimes a trial--are fantastic little balls of energy that light up our world.
Some say life's a tough--I'd say it was crazy.
However, as long our family loves eachother and stays focused on Christ...I think I could live another day.
