Ordinary Days

Sometimes in the busy hum of our household, I look around and take a snapshot in my mind.  This afternoon, I actually got the camera out because I didn't want to forget the ordinary yet special gift of time I get to hold as my own.

 



Olivia and Katherine were pretending outside on the back porch in the balmy weather.  They even built a "fire".

 

My mom (what a treat!) finished those skirts I've been trying to sew for months, and in the process I learned how to shrink a pattern to fit Katherine.

 Sarah was in the kitchen creating a gingerbread nativity from her amazing brain.

And Benjamin was transposing a "The First Noel" into alto clef so he could play it on his viola.
