“I am resolved to be a good mother to my children, to pray for them, to set them good examples, to give them good advice, to be careful both of their souls and bodies, to watch over their tender minds; to carefully root out the first appearing and buddings of vice, and to instill piety, virtue and true religion into them.“

Heading Out For A Few Days

www.allposters.com

I will be a way for several days - at a cabin in the woods. We are going to celebrate Lindsay's birthday. She is such an outdoors woman, but with her birthday is January it makes it hard to do go camping etc...so we decided that this year we would try renting a cabin. Our state parks have cabin rentals and January is 'off season' so it is really affordable!

We have never rented a cabin here before so when I get back I will tell you how it went. I grew up tent and trailer camping in the West and Tim grew up in Africa. Our missions training 20 years ago involved us building a house in the woods - out of trees and landscaping plastic! It was a neat experience because it taught you that you can make a home anywhere!

When we get back, we have to get back to our normal routine of school and work. I am looking forward to that even though it will be hard to leave all our celebrating behind!
