Time stops for no one--not even a mom who is savoring days and instead of chasing littles, carpooling bigger littles across town daily. Even with each child in only one activity, the demands for our time are endless. That fact alone makes me cherish each night's dinner around the table and read alouds before bed. They are still here. Still ours. Still their safe place to land and launch. That thought makes me happy.
Our days haven't been particularly hectic, so that is not an excuse to have been absent from this place, but there is really no reason except maybe I'm listening more, speaking less (in real life and blog life). Quiet equates contentment for me. And being still means I'm savoring God's voice and His call to action or obedience.
Moving on, some of the most recent happenings around here. . .
Mom celebrated another birthday! I believe it was about 11 years ago, I seriously wondered how many more birthdays she would have to celebrate. Praise God for His healing hands and for more time with her. My mom is the only grandma my kids really know and she's the best mom for me!
Oh, I just adore my girls. Any time we can snuggle and all parties are willing, I take it. I am in awe of who they are growing up to be. In awe!
This guy got asked to be this little girl's Godfather. He is quite smitten with her, as we all are really. He is the best example of a man I know, so the choice is a good one. A really good one.
My little looks so big next to her baby cousin. 13 is creeping up on us and I'm preparing my heart for the teenage years.
We were missing Little and Kendra--but happy to celebrate Easter at mom and dad's with the family.
We had an adult beverage hunt this year and I think I may have more pictures of that than the kids hunting eggs. That's okay though! More memories to follow--when I don't have to take a hot lunch across the street to my Bubs--who will be at middle school next year. I will not complain--I'll embrace I can, while I still have the chance.
