Women are like lionesses at the gate of the home. . . . She guards that gate, and things matter to that family if they matter to her. . . . Sisters, you are each like the lioness at the gate. This means that there has to be some prioritizing. I was taught years ago that when our priorities are out of order, we lose power. If we need power and influence to carry out our mission, then our priorities have to be straight.

We're still patriotic

Well, this has been in my "edit posts" since July 11th. But we're always patriotic around here, so it's fine I'm posting 4th of July stuff on July 26th.

Right?!

Besides, if Christmas can last the whole month long, why not Independence Day? So what it has "Day" in it's title. I vote for a re-name. "Independence Month." Yep, lets all us slackers off the hook.

Since Michael missed the 4th party the girls hosted, we did it again when he got home. Water relays, parades, and paint. The girls squealed with delight to show Daddy all the fun stuff we had done that morning. In fact, they were more excited about our family party than they were at the friends' party.

But I guess that's right. I'm glad they enjoy being with their family. I hope that desire lasts forever.
