perspective

I love the perspective summer brings.  I tell Lofton often:  Life isn't about work.  It's about family-- building memories, enjoying moments, living in the now.  Summer helps reaffirm that belief for me.

I saw this quote from Condoleezza Rice and I think its very appropriate to our current life:

As I traveled the world representing the United States as our nation's 66th Secretary of State, I was often asked how I came to this post. I would reply, 'I started as a failed piano major.' The point is that life is full of surprises and serendipity. Being open to unexpected turns in the road is an important part of success. If you try to plan every step, you may miss those wonderful twists and turns. Just find your next adventure — do it well, enjoy it — and then, not now, think about what comes next.

This stay at home mama has spent a trying day running errands in big boy undies.  Yep, that's right.  I braved public sans diaper.  We went to the doctor for a check-up {tubes look great BTW}, the library for story time, and we went grocery shopping.

Reese did great! So to celebrate we had chik-fil-a for lunch.

Then we took an extra long nap.  Asking Reese if he needs to potty every five minutes wears me out.

For real.
