School just started yesterday for all three of my children.  It is cliché to say, but where does the time go?  They are growing up so quickly! 

I am getting ready to go to Woodbadge tomorrow (Boy Scout adult leader training).  I wish I could say that I am super excited to go, but the best I can do is say that I have made my peace with going.  I need to run and try to set up a tent before tomorrow.

Here We Go

Ok, I haven't done this before, and have been thinking a lot about it.  I have no idea if I will ever be the only one to read this, or if others will pop by sometimes.  We'll see.

Ever notice how life gets busy, and if you aren't intentional about something, you can lose it?  This happens whether it is friends, faith, knowledge, or activity, to name a few.

I took the kids on a walk today, and a good friend joined us.  It was a beautiful night, and a wonderful walk.  Yes, the kids were complaining and fighting most of the time.  Yes, I was ready to scream at times (why couldn't they just enjoy the beautiful night?!).  But, it was wonderful to spend time with the kids in an unstructured environment and to spend time with a friend, just hanging out.
