This weekend was easy and slow, full of quiet time as a family. We recuperated from
Isabelle's first week at school, cooked good food and made a trip to the grocery store.
We caught up on movies and took a Sunday afternoon nap, Isabelle and I read books and
did laundry. Brees went through my make-up bag and scattered its contents inside her
toy box, smiling her big, mischievous grin as she held up my half-eaten tube of lipstick in
her hand. I couldn't help but laugh at her, knowing what the toddler years hold.

I treasure these weekends so much, they give me a renewed sense of energy as I start
another work week. When I am home, I hug my family every chance I get, rarely turning
away from an open set of arms. It's the small, simple gestures of love that mean the
most: rocking my baby to sleep, painting my daughter's nails, making my husband a cup
of tea in the morning. As parents, we are so often told, "Cherish these moments, they go
by so fast". These words are so true: this time is so precious. This time together as a
young family is a magical time, a phase I can not get enough of. I want to remember
every chaotic trip to the grocery store, every mess and broken dish. I want to squeeze
every ounce of love out of every moment, no matter how simple or small. These are the
days worth remembering.
