Today was slow and quiet. As I busied myself around the house I noticed my sweet Ollie looking longingly out the window at the snow sparkling in the sun. I quietly stopped what I was doing and helped the boys into their snow gear. Three pairs of boots, and a couple of zippers later and they were out rolling around in the glittering, wet snow.
I shoveled off the back deck in just my long sleeved shirt as the boys giggled and played. They made tracks around the entire yard, bounced the ice off the trampoline and dug the sled out of the corner. Watching them play was a nice break from dishes and the regular hum-drum of household chores.
The sun warmed our faces and our hearts and we came in feeling more joyful than when we went out. Life is made up of little moments like these and I am so grateful I listened when I felt that little nudge to put things on hold and enjoy my boys! They grow so fast!
