What matters most of all...











So tonight after dinner, Rob took Zoe outside to water while I was cleaning up and Jack was playing with his toys. When I walked over to pick up the dishes off of the table he looked at me and said, "play with me Mommy" Sometimes, I would say "just let me clean up and then I will come play" but tonight I put down the dishes that were in my hand and I went to play. I realized the dishes can wait. They will get done but I realized what is most important is the quality time I spend with my children. Sometimes I can get upset if my house is a mess but I have to stop and think of what is most important.. While we were playing he grabbed my face and kissed me...my heart melted. I love Jack so much it makes my heart hurt. I thank Jack today for teaching me a lesson! I love you Jack Jack!!!

  2. I am so guilty of asking Anna to "just wait a minute". Thank you so much for the reminder to just slow down sometimes :)
