Since we’ve returned from Asia, I’ve had several people say something to me along these lines: “That trip looked incredible, it’s too bad your kids weren’t a couple of years older so they could get something out of it.” I’ve thought about these comments for a while. “Did we waste an opportunity? Should we have waited until they were older?” But I don’t think so. In fact, I think now is the perfect time to take these trips. With each trip, we add a layer to their foundation. These experiences mold who they are at their core and become a filter for how they process everything else. It shapes how they see the world, how they see people, and how they see themselves. Why would I wait to show them the world until after they have already developed a skewed view of it? More thoughts on this + our Bali trip is up on the blog today. Link in profile ☺️

Took Cam to his first concert tonight. We danced and sang and wiggled our way to the very front. He shouted “one more song” at the top of his lungs and I couldn’t help but laugh as he squealed in delight when it actually ‘worked’ and the band returned to the stage 😉 We ate milkshakes at midnight and ordered a CD player off Amazon (turns out it makes more sense to buy a CD at the concert if you actually have a way to play it). So often I want to fight against the growing up part- but as it turns out I’m thinking it might just hold some of the best moments yet. #camdwildandfree

“Go ahead you who they call ‘extra,’ go ahead and just go overboard- because a life of faith is to go overboard, overboard with hope, overboard with love, overboard with grace, so go ahead and be extra and go brave the waves.” (Ann Voskamp) /// Here’s to another year of learning- learning about our world, ourselves, and our Creator. Learning to expand our minds our bodies and our hearts. Here’s to a year of going overboard with our faith, our joy, our courage, our grace, our adventures and our love. Wassup 4th grade?! #camdwildandfree

A S I A: You were like discovering a new color in my crayon box. You kept me in awe of your beautiful landscapes, your jungles, your cultures, your history and most of all- your people. After 15 days we’ve only just begun to scratch the surface of all you have to offer, and we are already planning our next trip back. #diakandrusdoasia #camdwildandfree #littleladyjames #theaceofchase

Had breakfast with the orangutans and for once my children weren’t the only monkeys in the restaurant 🙊#diakandrusdoasia #camdwildandfree #littleladyjames #theaceofchase

Today I tried fish skin chips. And while I will need an extra suitcase for all the goods I’ve purchased during our trip, fish skin chips will not be making the trip home with us. #notmyfavorite #littleladyjames
