Summer weather is finally here, yay! We have been LOVING our time outside, which has thrown a wrench in our routines (eating dinner as a family at the dining room table, etc.) but we are fine with that. We have been without warmth for so long that we are willing to throw a few rules out the window in order to enjoy the delicious weather.
One of the routines/traditions we established through the winter was Pizza-Movie night every Friday night. It has become a weekly routine that we have all looked forward to every week.
Now that the weather is getting nicer, I thought it might be a good idea to transform Pizza-Movie night into Picnic-Popsicle night! The boys are very excited about that idea. We tried it for the first time last week and it was a success.
As a family we experienced much growth over this 2013 winter. We now have a very very awesome and spirit-filled church that we can call our own. We have family dinners almost every night with near-proper-ness (ha!). We have implemented "No Technology Tuesdays" and the boys have completely adapted to this with no complaints. We read the Bible regularly and Jesus is an integral part of all of our lives. We have experienced major spiritual growth as a family this winter and we are soooo happy about all of this!
We are excited about what this summer will bring. We have MANY fun adventures in store!
Here is a video from the past few months that makes us all very happy! Bless the Lord!!!

You give me some hope that I may be able to make some changes around here. We have been horrible at having any sort of routines - dinner together, etc. But, I would really like to use the summer months to establish some rhythm to our lives. It sounds like you've found some good weekly rhythms...maybe we can do the same. I may have to steal your no technology Tuesday idea...that would be a tough one, but so valuable I'm sure! Thanks for sharing!
