I try to embrace the mundane actions of daily life with kids, too, especially since my youngest son is growing up so fast. I can almost imagine myself as an old lady, trying to recapture these days...<br /><br />And you were such a great dancer...I still remember your "baseball" piece at VC...so beautiful!MoreSimplyHumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01207919310024230069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471353673045800301.post-85381851595639740962009-10-22T17:36:46.569-04:002009-10-22T17:36:46.569-04:00Wow!

I am trying to embrace those days and be present and FUN with the girls. Because you are right, these moments will be gone so fast. T reminds me everyday how much of M's life is already a memory. I can't believe it sometimes.

We are on day 5 of flu quarantine and I am so exhausted and stir crazy, but I was telling my husband last night that I am so grateful that I have the opportunity to be here for my kids right now and take the time to let them fully recover. I agree that the small moments are so very important.Joannanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471353673045800301.post-6002860365337053882009-10-22T17:07:59.794-04:002009-10-22T17:07:59.794-04:00Love this post.

You're so good at remembering and capturing those little moments and pleasures and responsibilities that make parenting worth all the mess. <br /><br />Hope everyone feels better soon.Hillaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383163628351295433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471353673045800301.post-838436719920922702009-10-22T16:30:26.995-04:002009-10-22T16:30:26.995-04:00So true about little moments being big to kids.

I keep trying to remember that Addy is getting to an age where she may very well start remembering things from our daily life, whether big or small. Maybe she won't remember her awesome b-day party, but maybe she WILL remember if I answered her question with patience or with frustration. <br />Yikes.<br />Sending healthy vibes your way!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07141742419364168878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471353673045800301.post-4771576798411065752009-10-22T15:19:58.250-04:002009-10-22T15:19:58.250-04:00Yes, I agree. You are very thoughtful. And what ...Yes, I agree. You are very thoughtful. And what is "small moments" to us is often the "big moments" to our children. This concept is especially hard for me to remember.<br /><br />Also, those girls of yours are absolutely STUNNING.<br /><br />I have one sick (probs h1n1) and who knows how long until someone(s) else gets sick. My strategy is going to include going for long walks when David get home in the evening.<br /><br />Hope you all get better soon!Marie Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03830798429713169174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471353673045800301.post-36225995357204882832009-10-22T14:47:09.950-04:002009-10-22T14:47:09.950-04:00You live so ... thoughtfully.
