OUR DAY....
It has been SO long since we had one of those days...OUR DAY! Our day to just be together and be a family. We had many errands to take care of, picking up school registrations, applying for school, doctor, school shoe shopping, and then just going places we needed and wanted to go. It was a great day! We did it right...we got our things done and ended with a movie, a quick catch up with Brian, a talk with Alex (who is staying with us for the week), tucked our kids in bed and thanked God for each one of them! We saw Evan Almighty...loved the movie but what we loved even more was the conversations after. Realizing that our older two got something out of the movie. Walking away realizing that God doesn't just fulfill our prayers, he teaches and grows us through the things we ask him for, patience being the biggest one. They also realized that we have to have faith and do what God asks of us NO MATTER what! Everyone in the theater clapped after the movie and no one seemed to jump to their feet right after the credits roled, it was almost as if people wanted to stay and talk about what they had learned!
There was one little bad moment in the day that really wasn't about us but about someone else's bad day but we all took it in stride and also talked about why we needed today. It also became a learning tool for the day.
I am SO incredibly happy to have all my kids home after 3 weeks of being all over the state! It seems like both Holly and Matt grew so much in the last 3 weeks, both in maturity and height. Matt seems to grow every day but seeing him after camp was a shock to how much he has changed. We missed them terribly but are loving the stories about camp and friendships (Matt discovered lots of girls, which is scary). God really worked in both of their lives and as the days of "camp high" are coming down we are hearing more and more about where God is taking them.
It was good to be THE MCTAGGARTS TODAY! I love my family more than anyone will ever understand!
