In this house...

About 6 months ago I had this saying made into a vinyl wall decal:

In this house

We do second chances

We do grace

We do real mistakes

We do I'm sorry's

We do LOUD really well

We do hugs

We do family

We do love

I have yet to put it up. It's not that I don't want to, but more that I can't find the perfect place to put it. It needs to be somewhere my kids will see it (even though they can't yet read). I need to see it so that I can be reminded everyday what is really important, because somedays amidst the chaos we need to be reminded. I don't know that I would call it our mission statement, or even our family statement though it does summerize a lot of what I think our family is about- deep down. I think it is what I strive for us to be as a family. I love that it denotes action, that we cannot just say things, we actually have to DO THEM.
