A break

This week it is just my wife and I at home. We have sent our children to their grandparents for a week. We do this every year and it is just a nice little break from all three kids. But we do miss them.

There are times in our lives that we really do not know what we have until we don't have it. My kids are wonderful and I love them very much but I really do not know how much until they are gone. But you know that this is true in other areas of my life also.

Family should be so important that we don't lose touch with one another or wait to see each other at a funeral or some other tragic event. I know that life is busy and there is always something to do but we make time for the things that are important to us. I think that Family should be on the top of the list as important.

If you have not talked to your family in a while give them a call and tell them that you are thinking about them. I am sure that they would love to hear from you. I know that I will do more to stay in touch with my family and as nice as it is to have a kid break, I can't wait for them to come home. Life just is not the same without them around.
