Today was family day, like every other Tuesday. We have set this day aside each week just to be with our family. BJ doesn't do anything church related. The kids don't have school (they make it up on Saturday). We just aren't available that day. There was a time when our schedule simply did not permit us to take this day. BJ was doing construction at the church and he had to be there on Tuesdays because our hired construction man was there and he needed BJ's help. Not having that day really hurt our family. I almost had an emotional breakdown. After that time we have let nothing get in the way of this day. We see it as a vital part of our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. Most days of the week our kids wake up with the question, "Is it Tuesday?"
Sometimes we go the beach.
Sometimes we go to the zoo.
Sometimes we go to the air museum.
Sometimes we go to the park.
Sometimes we stay home and play games, eat popcorn and watch a movie. It's always something different, but it doesn't really matter what it is because we are together and it helps our kids feel important and part of our lives.

It IS important! Glad you're able to always carve out this time for your family. Cute pics!
Great decision. You will reap what you sow and these are the best of seeds for your family and ultimately for God's work. Take care of yourselves. Love you all
