backpacks are loaded…naomi’s lunch is made…there are people helping install
our ceiling…i have finally taken time to sit and load pictures and remember…
with sal at my feet…there are brownies waiting for me…all treats indeed.
we’ve been getting ready
doing laundry
labeling school supplies
eating summer treats
praying
imagining
waiting
trusting
hoping
breathing
looking
not looking

micah to kindergarten
naomi to grade four

Thank you for sharing some of these moments with me…and for the freedom to love each others’ children along the way…..
(Still, I missed the sidewalk chalk….and not even a picture to prove it…..)

Amazing how a day can change so many things!
Wish I could be there to share brownies, ice cream and coffee in your ‘free’ time.
