This weekend I get to watch our favorite two year old friend Jaxson while his mom is on a trip with the Young Women from the ward. He is just 8 days younger then Tenley so it is fun to watch them play together. I had to get a few things from the grocery store this morning so we all crammed in the car and went. The boys were having fun playing together and were making a lot of noise so I got a lot of looks from others. One lady was staring me down and I smiled back and she just shook her head and said, "You have your hands full!" It made me laugh. I was actually so grateful today to have my hands full with three adorable happy children. We had a good day together.
This week has been so crazy and busy! Lately I've really been feeling like I could do so much more to serve those around me so every spare moment I've had I've been trying to do that. But I realized today that I'm going to get burnt out if I do that! While serving and trying to be better are good, there must be a balance in all things. I realized that I need to make more time to just sit and think and ponder. I'm learning how important it is to do that. No project, no computer, no T.V., no book, no piano... (I can always think of something to be doing rather than just sitting down!) and even with my "hands full" today I got about 20 minutes to do that. It was nice! I fell asleep for a bit, but I had some good reflection time and it was needed.
After dinner tonight with Brad the kids just wanted to cuddle with him. It was another peaceful moment that made today so good.
