Today, I took the day off to be home with my husband and my youngest. My oldest is at Boy Scout Camp for the 2nd year. He was excited and we are excited for him. I love Mondays and Days Off! It was a good day. We had breakfast, cleaned the downstairs, organized school papers (more to go in that area), picked up husbands bike, lunch, coffee, visited with grandparents, $1.00 Ice Cream Cones at Buehlers, shopping, made homemade Salsa for the 1st time (Thank you, husband), Tacos, cleaned some more, laundry ... It was a good day! And, the day ended with a much needed cool evening! I LOVE cool evenings! As I close; I am praying for the Boy Scout Camp staff and counselors, the Boy Scouts and their leaders and their parents and siblings!

Walking ... Praying ... Worshiping ... Children!

100 YEARS OF BOY SCOUTING FUN

Joey learning how to fold/unfold the American Flag with fellow Cub Scouts!  He was listening and following directions so intently!  He was so serious!!! It was really neat to see!  Thank you fellow leader and teacher!  You did a great job!!!

Joey participating in the Boy Scout Obstacle Course; after the thunderstorm!

We arrived to Camp Manatoc at 1:00 p.m.; celebrated 100 Years of Scouting, survived the thunderstorm and at 7:00 p.m. that evening we finally saw Luke!  He was as grumpy as he looked , tired and hungry!  He had a great time with his fellow scouts and leaders!  He couldnt stop talking about what they learned and accomplished!  He apologized for his "grumpiness." 

On the way home {EARLY} we took a little side trip through the valley. We past the Blue Heron nesting ground and saw this; it was so cool!  We promised Joey since he couldnt stay for the Boy Scout Retreat, Closing Ceremonies and Fireworks we would get ice cream at Friendly's!  By the time we got here (15 minutes down the road); he was happy and content!  I loved seeing the birds flying around and seeing Joey's expression and wonder!  It was a beautiful day with ALOT OF  BOYS in one place!  Camp Manatoc did an awesome job! 

Happy 100th Birthday, Scouting!

They all had fun!!!

Luke anxiously awaiting to leave for Boy Scout Trip, originally uploaded by Love.Peace.Happiness-Massaro Family.

These boys had fun. Luke turning, smiling. Brother holding his sister. One scout had a finger splint on ... preservered through the trip. Another scout had a chest cold; went on the shorter hike (with Paul). Good thing because; that is the hike that Paul sprained/fractured his foot. Met new friends. Traded warmth by the fire for new friendships. And, pizza at the end!!!

DH came home with this. He is so strong. Tolerates pain well. All of the boys had fun and this was the worst injury. I am glad he is home; safe and sound. I was happy he was able to go with L. but, more happy that they are home!

I am getting inspired to embark on a new, fun and exciting scrapbooking project called Week In The Life. You may go to http://www.aliedwards.com/ to learn more. Ive been waiting a long time for this to resurface again. My dear friend participated last year and loved it. She encouranged me to start; but, I said it wasnt the right time. I am seeing this as a new chance to capture the week with color, storytelling, routines and documenting my life. This picture was taken back in October, 2007. I love the colors. It is a past picture of our home; but, IT IS OK.  It will be the beginning ...

The Importance of Capturing Stories

Chris Brogan is giving away copies of Donald Miller's book, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years....for posting about what Story means to you.

I have always been someone who likes to write.    I love paper. I love pens.  I have many of them.  I am always trying out new pens and tossing the old ones.  I love to journal!! I love every chance I get to be able write.  I have change my system of keeping track of my appointments on a blackberry to buying a Franklin Covey Calendar because I love to write in appointments.  I am someone that likes to write; even though I STRUGGLED with English all my life!  I met my husband due to this great struggle. That is a story in itself.

I love books. I love the stories. I love Biographies. I love Autobiographies. I love reading. 

I capture my everyday with taking pictures … to tell the story! I believe pictures captures everything.  At times, I don't journal because I like to think that I will remember those moments in time that existed in my everyday.  I must have 5 different journals going at the same time.  I have a gratitude journal *my favorite*; my chronological journal that I keep my thoughts, prayers, everyday happenings, venting, feelings in; I have my Spiritual Journal that I keep when I go on retreats for church or work, I have my blog that I keep to tell the stories of our life for people that live out of town/in town for that matter. 

I scrapbook … to tell the story! I am a scrapbooker.  Again. I love paper. I love the colors. I love the designs. I love the embellishments. I love the hobby. It is relaxing and a great stress reliever.  I scrapbook and journal to tell the story of my life to capture my husband and my two sons.

Stories are so important. Pictures are so important.  A friend told me a story of a comment that was told to her.  He said that he didn't realize the effort that his spouse put into capturing the stories of their family in the photo albums until she recently passed away.  As the family was going through the albums; he suddenly realized the affects on “telling the stories” by putting photos into photo albums so meticulously.  My goal for this year is to capture the photos but, to tell the story as well.

What are your stories?
