spontaneity.....

there are very few things in life that make me feel more refreshed then when brian does something spontaneous with me or the family. somehow he always seems to know when i am feeling a little on the lagging side and always finds a way to cure it and make me feel rejuvenated.... it's like i can breath easy again!
he didn't say a word this morning while i was getting everyone ready and fed to be out the door and on time for church. but the moment we got in the car to head back home, he said "i have a plan for something fun today". when we got home he asked me to run inside and get the kids in play clothes while he ran to go get something. half an hour later we were out the door and on our way to somewhere only brian knew. i know this is going to sound silly... but i was so excited in the car, i felt like a little girl. it didn't take long till i figured out we were heading to myakka park. he had gone to run to subway and picked up subs for us to have a little afternoon family lunch outing.



it was such an enjoyable day. levi and livi were so excited when we got into the park and we let them get out of their car seats and sit up front in the big seat looking for "mamimals" as alivia would call them. we found the perfect little spot to be entertained by a little squirrel friend as we munched on our lunch. and afterwords, we hiked along the path on the lookout for alligators while brian and the kids climbed every tree that looked branchy enough to do so.

you never know what sundays will hold in the emrich home. sometimes we have to run between house to house for lunch and dinner visiting family and friends, other days we sit and do nothing at home after church. sundays are always nice, cause we get to be together as a family, but today however, was quite a charming sunday, and i really did enjoyed it.
i even got to be entertained tonight by "the pajama band". they had fun, and i laughed along! they make me smile! :P
