Family Night


At our house family night is Friday night but this week daddy is so excited that he has MOVED family night to Thursday. We did not tell the kids where we were going tonight. At dinner daddy announced that we were having a family night tonight and it was a surprise. Just to sure fact that it was a surprise made Quin and Paige try to rush after dinner devotions so we could leave sooner. We got on the high way and the excitement was so much that I think Quin thought that we were going on a vacation. (Bolingbrook is of course not a vacation). Everyone was so excited when we pulled in to the Bass Pro Shop. Now mind you I personally don't know why everyone loves that place so much. My husband was so excited. He was like a kid at Christmas in the toy store. The kids love the big fish tanks and the stuffed deer and all the exciting camping items. My husband can't stop planning his summer fishing trips. I like the gourmet food and the homemade fudge (which I can only taste because of the sugar). All in all it was a good time. Sam said we would have been there last night ( the GRAND OPENING) but we had church. It was so sweet on our way out the door was ran into Brother Larry and his sweet little family, that made the evening a little more fun. As we were leaving Quinten said "hey mom meeting Hunter and their family was like the cherry on top that was fun". It would make sense Brother Larry would not miss the GRAND OPENING.

Today was my doctors appointment. I'm now on a NEW insulin pump. This one does a lot more than the other one did to help me control my blood sugar. I'm very thankful for doctor and scientist that improve things like this for better health. Please pray for my husband. He is having a tooth pulled this next week. He has been in pain for a few days now with this.

It sounds like everyone had a great time and everyone usually does get excited about running into Bro.Larry. I'm happy to hear you're on a new and improved pump and I'll be praying for Sam.

Shhh! My guys have enough fishing stuff ~lol :). I'm sure the word is already out. How sweet the kids are so excited about family night. I'm glad you have a new pump and will pray it works well for you and we will pray for Sam as well.
