A Day in Our Life

A Day in Our Life...

Every day is different here, between running the kids to their events, kids coming here for piano lessons, and wrecker runs.  You just never know what the schedule will hold for the day.  However, a couple times a week we have a day at home all day and they are truly treasured!!  Here in the Midwest, just like motherhood, the seasons change quickly.  I want to savor each day (even the hard ones) as if it is priceless gift straight from God.  I realize how quickly I have forgotten what it was like when the children were all littles and how busy my days were, so I thought I'd jot down what my days have been like lately to remember once this season too passes.
