Kaitlyns thoughts....

Yesterday at school the girls had a veteran's assembly. As an extra Kaitlyn's 6th period teacher invited 2 veterans to come talk to the class. It was "enlightening" listen to Kaitlyn talk about these two gentlemen who served our country overseas.


Matt asked the girls many questions from "What do you think of the military?" to "Do you think you would want to join the military someday?".


After, Kaitlyn told us her stories and we talked about different aspects of military. Kaitlyn says "You know there's wars going on in the world, and we all live on the same planet....why can't we just all get along and not fight? "


It was a comment that we all ask ourselves from time to time. Matt did a great job answering her question and helping her understand that there really is no answer to that question and many people in the world wonder the same thing.


I just love the age that our girls are getting to and the conversations we have around our dinner table. Both girls are growing up so fast and they are realizing the world is much bigger than their backyard. I pray that Matt and I will guide them in the right direction in this crazy world....
