Rob's windbreaker around us. Little socks to keep the feet warm. A short walk. Just the way she likes it.

There are big things in life, and then there are little things. Here is a little thing. A little thing of beauty.

Take a deep breath

Skype

When you open skype, the holding screen says "Take a Deep Breath".
What a lovely reminder.

Take a deep breath.
I went to an event tonight called "wine and whiners" hosted at a local bar. It's a great way to meet other parents. I spoke with a Mommy who has a BIG job, where she is fortunate to make LOTS of money. And she admitted that she does not want to go back. She's been back, and cries everyday. She and her husband are looking at what their lives could look like if she stayed home for a few years. Big questions. Bigger still considering this economy.
Take a deep breath.

The joy

I waited for this. I waited literally my whole life for this. And it is sweetness.
So many people have said "enjoy this time".
I have now found that the statement means different things to different people. (for some that means "this goes fast" and for others it means "over look the diapers, and just focus on the good parts", and for others it means "I enjoyed that part so much - I hope you are too". )
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then I will illustrate the joy the best way I can.

Here is the first Finished Object of 2009.

We are all very happy.


Beautiful little thing.

Happy Family.
