raising a child in this crazy world

Mark and I struggle to raise James in a world where it seems like it is all about consumerism and who has the biggest and best "stuff".

One thing we have tried to do already is show him that there is more to life then just "stuff".  At Christmas I got him to help pick out gifts for the toy drive, okay sure he was 5 months old and had NO IDEA what Mummy was making him do, but the thought was if we start him early and make it part of every year then it will be something we just do.

We have also been attending the Church that I have attended for many year.  Those of you that know Mark maybe shocked to hear that he is attending Church.  But he agrees that the Church we have selected is very uplifting and focuses a lot on the family and building better communities!

Last night was Inspirational Music in the Park. Two groups from the Church were singing last night, so we took James after work, for a picnic dinner and then listened to some great music while James got to play with the other kids!

It was a great night to just spend time with family and friends!

Here is James in his little chair waiting for the music to start!
