memories

tonight the kids and i went to a concert at the park down the street. (Daddy was working). It was an incredible folk/alt country band and the kids loved it. i wished i had a camera but since i did not, i tried really hard to be present and really soak it and watch the kids truly. they were joyously dancing with each other, laughing giggling, huge smiles and pure and utter joy. I danced with them, i was silly, i swung them around. at one point, each one snuggled into my lap and I gave big hugs and love. i hope that i thought on it long enough to deeply etch the picture of it into my memory for all the days i live.

i do not know if they will always remain the best of friends but i certainly hope they do. tonight was such a joy to see my three children show complete love and joy for each other. and to watch the older two watch out for the youngest. in those moments, i feel truly blessed because i believe they share something special.

we have been getting into a good rhythm this last few weeks of them playing inside then outside and while outside they dig in the dirt and are covered head to toe. i love it.
