This year my kids had an extra long
Spring Break, a week & a half.
The first day of break Annie & I typed out
a list of things we were going to, or really wanted to, do.
Tomorrow is the very last day before
heading back to school on Monday
& we got everything on this list checked off:
They did a lot of fun "stuff"
but that's not what made it special.
It was the smiles.
The excitement of trying things for the first time.
But, as exciting as learning to ski AND going down your first "black diamond" all on the same night is,
(That is my husband for you)
lots of the "specialness" was in our own kitchen.
In the quiet moments of concentration & togetherness.
In my amazement as I watched her work,
she designed & filmed her own cooking show episodes
& started a new cooking blog.
In the wonderment of a new fish.
Everyday was special.
Because I had my 5,
and they love each other.
Do you get a Spring Break?
bracelet!

ReplyDeleteLibbie I just left Annie's new blog and watched her amazing cooking video. OH my she is so grown up and presented her yummy pita's so well.
ReplyDeleteI can not tell you how much I enjoyed seeing a video of her, hearing her voice and watching her made my day but when her brothers came out to sample the dish was like I told Annie the icing on the cake for me. Made me cry to see all of your babies and their growing up way to fast.
How proud I am of all of them and you my friend
Love
Maggie
