One Afternoon

If you all know me well, you know I do not like to sit still. I like to be going, going and going. I can't sit through a movie and not do something. I am always thinking what are we going to do next. I call it a fault, a big fault. I believe that is why I was given a kidney and auto immune disease. Because it forces me to slow down. Sounds funny, I know but it is true. 
Saturday afternoon, we were playing in the backyard. I wanted to get out and Miah had been stuck to the computer the last few days. I wanted to go swim but Bells was just having so much fun and wanted to play legos. I agreed and told her we would go play with them in the back yard. 
Miah came out shortly with the golf clubs (jealous Dad?). 
I was laying there on the grass as Bells was in her own little world with the legos, occasionally breaking off to play gold with her Daddy. At first I was eager to get to the pool but they I thought to myself...
Live in the moment and relax. I soaked up the sun, the sweet little girl playing and my husband totally relaxed. I fell in love all over again with my life. 
Do you ever do that?
Do you have to tell yourself to STOP and enjoy the moment? 
Is it too late to start a new years resolution? I hope not but then again who cares. 
Especially with the new journey coming and this being my only chance at motherhood...
I will live more in the each moment. Because I love my family longer than my DNA will lay out. 

My husband loves golf and thanks to Dad he can play just in the back yard. 


Bells stopping shag some gold balls for Daddy. 


This is how Bells gets a hole in one...who's going to tell a 3 year old NO!


Swing away...


We are ready to start this little one is sports. 


Good One!


"I'm a big girl now, I can do it, relax Daddy."


Just another day,
another moment,
another afternoon,
in a life I love!
