This semester we have had to be more intentional about our family time. We have been bummed that the boys are happy as ever just playing with their friends on campus, while we are really wanting to have some time with them. It is a blessing living on campus and there are many, many pros to it...but with 80 some kids on campus, there is never a shortage of kids to start up a game that could last a while, and we have had to pull the boys (sometimes grudgingly on their part) away lately. We literally have kids knocking on our door up to twenty times a day! Nile actually typed up a message to put on our door that says, "We are having family time, so we can't play. See you tomorrow!" , haha. All that to say, we have started getting away from campus more, finding fun things to do together. I think we are making progress and learning how to better protect our family time, yet let the boys have some time with their friends, as well. St. Louis is never lacking in fun things to do/explore and we have had a blast together. On this day, we went to Forest Park and rented a paddle boat. The boys really wanted to do all the paddling, which was perfect for their length of legs:) It hurt Nile's and my knees, so we were happy to oblige.

| And then they enjoyed some Fitz's rootbeer:) |

| And I wish I would've noticed when I took this picture how Josie places her whole mouth around the rootbeer. I would not have taken a drink of hers:) |

| No, we didn't give him 2, he was just collecting the cool bottles:) |
