lately

the past few weeks have been extremely busy as we run from school, to swim, to soccer, to birthday parties and chess tournaments.  i am truly amazed at how much my little ones can do AND want to do.

summer will soon be upon us and i look forward to some unscheduled, lazy days by the pool.  the long hot days where we end up eating ice cream for dinner.  the sweet smell of sun on their skin as i tuck them in at night.

i have been feeling more connected with luke lately.  we have been managing to spend alone time together, which is wonderful for the both of us.  he is almost 8, but still likes to cuddle up next to me, snuggle in bed.  i know these days will not last, so i am enjoying every moment i have.
