"I have a feeling"

While the five of us are driving in the car, Kayla leans forward from the back seat and says, thoughtfully: "Dad, mom, Sometimes I have a feeling I might be a real princess." Sean and I smile at each other. Sean: "Kayla, I think you might be right."

While the whirl of my busy life seems to continue on, I have been looking at things differently. Attempting to establish more inner balance and connection to the earth (okay yeah, I am sort of a hippy.) But I only have one chance to live this life and I want to enjoy it. On my days off, we take a drive, take the kids to the children's museum, go to the snowboard shop, go for a walk, play in the snow. I think when I see people pass away and leave bewildered family members behind, I start to realize how quickly things can change. Every day I spend with my family is a gift. Sitting on the floor playing with the kids in my pajamas is never time wasted. I found the above photo of Kayla from when she was only a couple of days old. It cracks me up. Sassy from birth.
With my brood, there is no denying my hands are full but my heart is too.
Enjoying these little monkeys before they are grown.
