The McMillins

Corey went to Promise Keepers on Friday and Saturday! He had a lot of fun and it was very uplifting to him. Corey thinks the best feeling is having all of those men in that stadium singing together for Jesus. He says it's so powerful!

While Corey was at Promise Keepers, Gretchen went out with Zach. Zach was VERY bad. She had only gotten 3 hours sleep the night before (b/c she can't sleep lately) which didn't help. He ran away from her in the store, twice, AND threw a fit in the middle of the Post Office. So, she took care of it when they got home. He's been listening MORE since he got punished. He usually only needs one good punishment and then he's good for a while. He was good the rest of the weekend.

Corey is having his Bible Study this morning. They are all downstairs while Gretchen and Zach are upstairs watching "Herme & Friends: Stanley the Stinkbug". The rest of the day is reserved for family time.

It's so nice for Corey to have 4 days off. We are so blessed that we get to spend much more time together than most families. We think it's so important for Corey, more than Gretchen, to spend time with Zach b/c of the age that he's at. Focus on the Family says that all children tend to need their Dad's more than their Mom's after the age of 3. Not that they don't need their Mom, but it's more important for Dad's to be apart of their lives more than their Mom's. So, Corey is now making sure that one day is reserved JUST for Zach. That means, Gretchen doesn't get to be apart of that since she is always with him. It's so important for Corey to spend some alone time with Zach.
