Happy Family Day!

Four years.  There are days when it seems like forever, and days like it was yesterday.

Four years since these little scared boys came to our house with all their belongings, and changed all of our lives.  There have been some bumps and a few hurdles, and more mistakes than I would like to admit.   From a distance, the parenting thing seems easy.  It is not.   We are no longer trying to be perfect, just to get them to adulthood without adding to their scars.

Every year we try to do something special to commerate this date.  We call it "Family Day".   Dad John came home with the idea that we could go on a raft trip, with some fishing at the end.  Seemed like a great idea to all of us.

Rafting down that river was a lot like our lives.  There were moments we felt we needed more paddles, and others when the ride was effortless.   I am very thankful to be on this ride with than these five men.  We will continue to navitage our way...and we will get there together.

Happy Family Day Brion boys.  We love you very much.
