Slowing Down

Even though it has been officially summer for a couple of weeks now, things just haven't seemed to slow down. There hasn't been a day that someone hasn't had to be somewhere or do something. We all too often get caught up in the busyness that we forget to just relax and enjoy those around us. It took Matigan to remind me of this today. We went swimming at Grandma and Papa's house and while there she wanted me to play with her in the sand table. She told me - "You didn't play with me at home and you aren't playing with me now - there just isn't any playing!" Her little face looked so sad that I couldn't refuse to play one more time.

While we were there, Elliott lost another tooth. They are so funny at this age with their toothless grins! He is so embarrassed to smile - just wait until he looses his two front teeth!
