Last night was a magical spring evening here. There is something so incredibly awe-inspiring wonderful about the glories of spring. And sometimes moments happen that just seem to epitomize it. Last evening was one of those moments. When Braydon was done working he made paper airplanes with the boys and the three of them flew them in the back yard while I cooked dinner. Looking outside the kitchen windows, with the warm spring air flowing in through the screens, I felt desperate to be able to freeze time. Can't it just stay like this forever? Can't these boys just never grow one bit older? Can't they be this perfect age for eternity? How did we get so lucky?? How has this become my life??? It is all too overwhelming sometimes. And then we ate dinner on the porch. There is something about sitting on the porch at the end of a day, eating a favorite meal together, and soaking up laughter and questions and silliness and stories... there is something about it that just... feels... completely right. Our dinners aren't always like this! Perhaps that is why when they are it feels so beautiful? It is not always spring. Perhaps that is why when it is it feels so magical? Life is not always this good. Perhaps that is why last evening felt so wonder-filled? We count our blessings. And they are many.

Just wanted to say Hi and thanks for your words and photos. Sometimes when I feel like things are a bit too much to think about, I check your blog and get a reminder that things are good. Thanks for letting your optimism virtually rub off. I really appreciate your ability to stop and smell the roses. Best wishes.
