Equal Partnership between Men and Women in Families So, who’s in charge anyway? Well in marriage The Family: A Proclamation to the World teaches us that, “By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families. Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children. In these sacred responsibilities, fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners.” I love this concept and believe that it is biblically sound. The Lord provided Adam a helpmeet in Eden as stated in Genesis 2:18 .  “The significance of this phrase “help meet” is that the woman is a creation who is a fitting and proper companion for Adam because she is like him and corresponds to him. This concept is further solidified by the description of the creation of woman as being formed from the rib of Adam—a rib being a metaphor for a person corresponding to Adam. ...

Well we are back from our wonderful summer vacation. One big thing that is different is that my niece, Aviana is back home with her mom( Steph ) so my family is back to 5 with a part time Uncle David! I really loved all of the quality family time. In South Carolina we stayed at the Breakers! The kids loved the lazy river and kids crafts. My favorite part was the view!

Now that the dust has settled from the trip I've decided that I want to be able to have more family vacations like that. It was a lot of fun but can be on the expensive side.

I forgot to change the water level before we left so it was all dried out. (On a side note I've been working all week on how to put pictures on the blog.) Alexis has had a bad ra...

We went to Williamsburg and were excited! We stayed at the Patrick Henry Square a Blue Green Resort. We really enjoyed our room. We stayed in a 1 br W/den. It had a little mini kitchen and two fold out couches. It comfortably accommodated out family of 2 adults and 4 children. (my niece was with us) It was a good thing that we liked our room because that was where we spent most of our time. We tried spending the day at Colonial Williamsburg . I had done research online and asked around and was told it wasn't the most toddler friendly place. My husband really wanted us to go, so we did. We came home feeling bummed. And spent the rest of the time in our room. We were going to go to the pool but...I felt like it was motel quality and didn't want to get in it. It was also at another building so walking across the parking lot with wet tired kids wasn't my idea of fun. I know I'm a party pooper :) We ended up leaving early. If I had to do it all over again I would ...
