They Chose Us

We used to do special movie night every Friday night and we got away from that last year. Since the kids start school in a week and I start my new m-f schedule we decided to bring back our family tradition of special movie night. This week. Our first movie was the new Teen Beach movie from Disney. It was cute kind of a throw back to Grease but cute. During our family movie we weren't without interruption. This is the first summer that we have neighborhood kids coming to our door asking for Lilly and Owen to play. When the doorbell rang my heart kind of sank thinking the kids would want to end our family time and jump on their bikes to be with friends. To my thankful surprise when the doorbell rang both kids jumped up opened the door to tell their friends we are having special movie night and might be able to play afterward. 

My heart jumped for joy when the kids returned to our laps to finish the movie. 

I truly pray that they choose us over others. I know one day that choice may change so for now I am going to love these moments that they are still my babies!
