9pm and still in the 60's
can't pass up on an opportunity like this...drag out the fire pit and grab the marshmellows...we are having s'mores. megan is on a road trip to WVU and so it is just me and the twins and about 14 of their friends. lots of laughter and lots of kids and lots of chocolate.
these were the nights that tim loved. he loved when the kids would have their friends over and he could hear them having a good time. (we were those weird parents who would rather have a little mess and know where the kids are and what they are doing then have quiet and order).
ashley and i decided that today tim would have made us go walk the river walk...we are constantly talking about what dad would be doing or what dad would be thinking. i think this is a good thing...the memories are so fresh. i like when the kids think about their dad and comment on stuff like that. mostly they make me smile now (before any little thing would make me cry...i think i am getting a little better).
this morning kelsey had her first scrimmage. it was a beautiful day to sit out at a soccer game.
time to go add some more wood to the fire and make myself a nice lightly toasted marshmellow. some kids are at the fire and some are watching a comedy and some are watching a scary movie...i just sit in the middle of the house and crack up and all the sounds. some are laughing and some are screaming and the guys are making fun at the girls and some are just hanging out chatting at the fire...nice evening.
gotta go
thanks for checking in

Just got home from a similar day - out-of-town relatives visited for the UMD v Towson U Lax game; Terps over Tigers 9-7, Hallelujah, PTL!!! We enjoyed dinner at a local burger place and then they got on the road. We caught up with some Terps parents and enjoyed the evening outside around the pit and laughed and laughed and laughed. It's so good for the whole person. What a beautiful game day!
We look forward to reading your blogs. It's so good how you are moving through the process--sounds as though having youth hanging around helps, too. And we continue to pray for you, "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning, new every morning. Great is Thy faithfulness, O Lord. Great is Thy faithfulness." Amen

S'mores are not even fattening! In fact---they're good for you!
You see...when you toast the marshmallows, and then mix that with the chocolate and graham cracker, a wonderful chemistry takes place and all the fat, carbs and caffeine in the chocolate are eradicated! The graham is grain and we all know that's good for you.
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!
The laughter is a healing balm!
