One day

many years from now

when all my babies have left home

and I am sitting in my quiet house,

I will not look back and remember the pile of dirty dishes in the sink

or the piles of laundry waiting to be attended to

or the layer of dust on my bookshelves

I will look back and remember this:

and I will know that life is really good.

Caroline's Birthday

Our squirrel turned 4! Wow!

This child got some loot.

Kevin and I made her close her eyes for our big reveal.

We got her a princess bike she had been drooling over for awhile.

By the way, Caroline now lives in her princess tent that the Brunjes and the Garcias got her. Thanks guys.
