My personal goal for this year is to be "present" with my kids. To live in the moment as much as possible. The busyness of life is distracting and most of what fills our time is unimportant and unnecessary. It's important to have a clean and picked up house, but it doesn't need to look like a showroom. You get the idea. I'll confess, some days it's easier than others.
This particular day was Mylie's last day of preschool. I realized that it would be the end of my one-on-one time with my little boy. I've enjoyed the time we've had when she's been at school. Some days I would fill our time with errands, because handling one kid is way easier than two! But other days, we'd just play and play and play. He would soak up the attention and talk and share. I loved our time shooting hoops, playing trains and coloring.
I promise, we played trains for a long time before I busted out the camera. I remember thinking.. "Just enjoy the moment. You don't need pics." I couldn't resist. I was savoring every minute with my little Luke and I wanted a way to remember this moment. I know this time with my kids will be gone before I know it. I'm trying to soak it up as much as I can.

Good for you! I love your goal for this year. I need a good reminder about being present in the moments.. Mine goal has been to survive. :) It is sometimes so hard for me to be present. While I know the dishes can wait.. they sure pile up FAST at this house.. Luke is getting so big. He really is a super cute kid!! I need to pull my camera out more often for the every day things..
