Moments Like These

I feel like we missed Fall!

We have been sick

and tired

and stuck in the house

for far too long!

Today we decided to get outside

and enjoy the beautiful weather

while it lasts.

Plus, we wanted to tire these cuties out!

Do they ever have a lot of energy!

So we went to a local state park,

and we walked,

and we kicked leaves,

and we chased each other around.

We climbed,

and we ran,

and we laughed really hard!

We played at the playground

which to our delight was completely empty!

We walked down to the lake

and threw rocks into the water

and tried to keep Nathan

from jumping in!

It was so good to be together,

just the four of us,

with no distractions and no noise.

Just time to breathe

and enjoy being together.

Moments like these

are the best.

They make all the other stuff

melt away,

and all that's left

is a sigh of happiness.
