simple pleasures



It's a new year and it's already turning out to be a busy one.
Jason is flying out this Thursday for an unplanned trip to Singapore. He's home for two days and then he's off to California for 5 days.

My mom returned to Texas before Thanksgiving last year and Olivia and Clark are going to Miss Mindy's (in-home childcare) and Isabella started preschool last week. I started a new job in December, which I do enjoy. So, last week Jason and I found ourselves doing what a lot of working families do, getting the kids up and ready and out of the house by 7:45am so that we could both go to work. We only did it for 2 days and we were all exhausted by the end. I couldn't imagine doing it 5 days/week and luckily we don't have to.

This morning as we were all enjoying french toast at 8am with the kids still in their jammies, I was grateful for relaxing mornings. Isabella starts kindergarten in Sept and school becomes more demanding for me, so I know that our leisurely weekday mornings are numbered.
