Building Patterns of Love

My Aunt Wendy posted an article titled "20 Things Our Parents Did That We Don't." The bullet points included

1. Send thank you notes.
2. Shake hands.
3. Collect things, specifically when it comes to kids.
4. Stand up straight.
5. Have dinner parties.
6. Take walks.
7. Have Family reunions.
8. READ!
9. Spring clean.
10. Volunteer.
11. Call our moms.
12. Sleep over.
13. Make a casserole.
14. Say our prayers.
15. Watch the sky.
16. Play board games.
17. Gift just because.
18. Go out for ice cream.
19. Read aloud.
20. Take a drive.

I guess I'm doing pretty good because we do all of these things. Some more than others, but I do them all with my children.
