Today has been a beautiful day. I feel rested and ready for anything. The sun is shining and there's a warm breeze blowing. All of my ducks arrived this morning with smiles on their faces, happy. We spent an hour dancing and listening to music. We started and finished a special project. We enjoyed the beautiful weather outside and then calmly made our way back inside an hour and a half later. And now, they're all asleep and I have a moment to myself, a moment to breathe. Contentment.
I know that I am a lucky person to have the opportunity to do what I do. I chose this, I wanted this, and my wonderful husband helped me to make it work. I get to be in the comfort of my own home and be with my son every day. I get to choose who I work with and am very grateful to work with people I actually really enjoy being around. I set my own rules, and run my day the way I think it works best. And yet there are days when I feel just a little less than content, like something is missing, something I can't quite put my finger on, and I'm left wondering. But then comes a day like today, and I remember that all is right in my world. That I am exactly where I wanted to be. I am content.

Grayson Jacob
My Little Man
Otherwise known as Gray or Bug, our firstborn is quite the little athlete. He loves all things sports, and talks quite often about being a "professional" when he's big. He has a gentle soul and loves being a big brother. Some of his other favorite things are music, creating art, running, and figuring out how things work, even if it means destroying something in the process. He turned 5 in July and is thoroughly enjoying Kindergarten.
Scarlett Hope
My Little Daredevil
AKA Lettie or Monkey, our little girl is quite a spitfire. Scarlett turned 2 in September. She definitely has a mind of her own and is very strong-willed. She loves to climb on and jump off of everything in sight. Some of her favorite things are books, baby dolls, and monster trucks, though not necessarily in that order. She has a flair for the dramatic, a great sense of humor, and loves figuring out how to make people laugh.

Sounds peaceful! Well, as peaceful as it can be with preschoolers and babies running around!
Personally, I'm VERY happy that you are content!
And my friend we are grateful to have you as a part of our lives in more ways then we ever imagined back in those early day on the cool wet pool deck. Every day I/we thank my/our lucky stars for getting to know you and Nate not just for day care but for the friendship and kindness you have given to us over the past few years!
what a wonderful feeling! I know exactly what you are talking about...when it gets tough...I often remind myself...I chose this...there is no better place to be....
Don't you wish you could just bottle it and break it out whenever you need it later! Something about these first, warm spring days, just makes everything better!
I am SOOO glad you "chose this" too. I am a better mother to my boys because of what I observed in your home when I would visit. In the short while that we have known one another, you have made my life fuller. And I am grateful to you and to Nate for loving my boy like your own.
