Day 174 - park days this year

We have been going to the park every morning before the heat kicks in.  Calista and I ride our bikes, Caroline rides her scooter and lately, Courtney and Claire just run.  I look forward to going each morning and just love watching them play and listening to their stories.

Today as I sat there on the bench reading my book I realized what I was actually doing.  Sounds strange, I know but it's a new stage we've reached and I just noticed.

I was sitting.
I was reading.
It was easy and relaxing!

Saying goodbye to some of the baby stages has been hard for me.  Too hard sometimes.  Today I was grateful that God showed me one of the advantages.

Thanks for this:-). So confused right now, hoping to find peace in this area soon.

I love and benefit from reading your thoughts on motherhood and its phases.

I know just what you mean. :)
It's also hard for me. I wonder will it always be?
