"Boring" Adventures
Today the kids and I went with friends to see the movie "UP". I thought of the title of our blog, "The King's Adventures", when the elderly man read his deceased wife's note which said "thanks for the adventures" just when he was sad that he felt he hadn't helped her fulfill her dreams. She had included pictures of big moments and regular moments. The little boy also told him that he guessed it was the "boring" times that he remembered most. I guess that's what our blog - my life - is all about! Big events and little everyday moments are shared in pictures and in thoughts. Although the recent All-Stars, Dance Recitals, Soccer games, School events, Church events, visits with friends and family, etc. need to be documented because they've been awesome; I too think the "boring" moments stand out most in my mind. Those moments of snuggling on the couch watching a movie, stealing kisses from my ever growing little ones, reading together, learning the books of the Bible, watching the kids' interact with others, playing cards, teaching how to use the microwave and the vaccuum, even cleaning out closets and cleaning the van together... Just thinking about even the last few hours, I hold so dear those bedtime moments. I think tomorrow I'll treasure the "boring" moments even more!

Well said...it's so true. We try to build big memories with our kids, and that's ok, 'cause they will remember those. But so often, the "Mom, do you remember ____? (you fill in the blank here)" is referring to the "little" or the "boring" moments. And that's what it's all about. Thank Jesus when He helps us to figure that out!
Btw, Up was a great movie! Our family really enjoyed it.
Thanks for sharing!
Love,
Melissa
UP was such a wonderful reminder of that! I'm glad you are enjoying and celebrating your boring adventure!
So true dear friend! I can't wait to see the movie now.
