family time

last month, mops brought in this guy named kirk weaver. he's the founder of Family Time Training based out of littleton, colorado . he was passionate and creative and believed, i mean hard core, believed in the mission of the family unit. and ever since i heard reggie joiner speak at a children's conference in chicago a handful of years back, i've been super jazzed about empowering parents to spiritually impact and lead their kiddos. and now, 4 years later, wham-o, I am the parent....geez.

and at this particular mops i realized two things

1) avery is totally old enough for a consistent, focused time of talking and praying and story-telling and game playing as a family.

2)we are not doing it

so i bought this great book that has ideas for creating a family time once a week for pre-schoolers.

and we are doing it. you are my accountabilty.

thursday nights = family night.




(yes, that is the christmas tree in the background and yes it is gone now)

first up-lazarus. kind of a funny first story to do with your two-year-old.



she was a bit scared of the whole dying/coming back to life part, but we had fun wrapping ash in toilet paper:)
