Ok, raising 4 kids is tough. I haven't been able to get on this blog due to having to be a good daddy to the my little Mocha6. However, I'll get back to posted regularly as I'm pondering my week without the oldest 3. Yes, Paris, BJ and Jackson Jericho are visiting their Meme and PawPa Smith for the week. Little Ms. London stayed with me, oh yeah, Tasha is away at a conference, so the little munchkin just has me to hang with.
Family is so huge... I believe that the support of your family is necessary to raising wonderful kids. We used to live so far away that our kids did not get to see their family very often. Hence the move to Texas. However, just being a few hours away from the Grand Parents is a plus. Normally, the kids spend an entire month away. They attend the local Vacation Bible Schools and make all the local kids jealous with their bible skills and musical talents. PawPa is always showing them off, but the Paris, BJ and Jericho love it. They get to eat fresh watermelon, pick berries, swim, and their all time favorite, burn trash. BJ loves the smell of burning trash and my father has built a pit just do so. He'll actually save up the trash until the time the kids get there just to see the delight on their faces when the flames decorate the sky. Nothing like good ole country fun.
On the flip side, I utilize this time to get things done around the house, reconnect with the wife and just relax. However, with Tasha gone, I have had the time to bond with London. She is definitely a mommy's girl, but she has no choice this week.
So, next week the fun starts all over and I'll be sure to post the exciting adventures of The Mocha 6 and hopefully be able to encourage everyone raising kids that the sacrifice, if you are making it, is surely worth it.
