Long Days and Short Sweet Moments

I feel like Saturday is our only family day. Sunday’s Ryan has meetings, then church, then tithing settlement. It makes for a long day, especially when my focus is not on the right things... I need to learn to live and appreciate the moment, not think of what’s coming on my list or fret about the quarrels the kids have had. Well, I had a moment today, when Jake who was having a tantrum fell asleep in a little pile on the bathroom floor while I was bathing John Paul and Lily. And I looked at him, and his angry face had turned so angelic, and I thought “He’s not going to be this little for long. Just breathe this little moment in and cherish it.” (I also like how he sang O Christmas Tree loud during a quiet part in church. ‘O Kissmatee O Kissmatee!’ ;)
