We are one week into school and we are (mostly) surviving. My days are packed as I shuttle kids where they need to be and work hard to have deliberate parenting moments with my kids. It is a balance. Despite the chaos and the new routines, there are quiet moments I cherish. I have come to really love my September mornings. We walk the big kids to school, and I am pushing William and Matthew in a stroller. The weather is ideal and a sense of completeness settles on my heart. I really live for those morning walks.
There are birds chirping, leaves falling, garbage trucks making their rounds, snails crawling to the soil, sprinklers going, a light breeze brushing our faces....it is just calm and peaceful, and I always feel a deep sense of gratitude. I don't want the days to end.
