Two Boys

In the midst of the flurry that the new school year brings and the pressure of learning a new curriculum...
And the craziness of 'wearing so many hats' for Chris at work...

The two things in life that really matter most are Cannon and Colson.

We've been able to come home each week day and set aside our work stress to focus on the boys.  We try to be present in the moments we have with them, enjoying their thoughts, their conversations, their expressions, their play, their mannerisms, their learning, their observations, their sense of wonder, their enjoyment.

These things have grounded us.  These two boys have made those 'big' things at work seem so small.

I'm thankful we are able to fully enjoy them. To really listen to what they are saying.  To ask questions of them. To watch carefully as they play.  To read and draw and write with them.  To hug and kiss them.  To laugh with them.

The time with the boys makes it so much easier to relax, to put things in perspective and to recharge for the next day.

For this, we are thankful.






Enjoying every moment.
