With all the feeling of change, we were ready for change too. Summer months, days and nights pulled us here and there. This way and that way. We all started yearning for rhythm, more normal, more expected.
We started the morning with a story about an anxious leaf. A little leaf that was scared at first to let go of its branch, but in its own time became ready and eager to burst into color and let go!
Then we headed out in the cool morning for a nature walk. How exciting to collect found things from the ground, sweet little natural treasures.
In the eyes of a three year old and one year old, everything is special, everything is important and beautiful.
Even though we live in the heart of the city, there are many natural places to escape. Large looming oak trees abound our neighborhood and there are plenty of city parks nearby. Some are filled with play equipment, some are just big open spaces.
Later, we played in our own little world in our backyard. Brothers?! Would you look at those expressions? Intense play!
Morning blessing over oatmeal. P & R both love the candle and P especially likes the "song".
