The Most Important Things in Life . . .

...aren't things...

Too often, I get lost in the moment of unpicked up toys and whining.  I forget these little people who call me "Mommy" will one day grow up.   It can be so hard to live in the moment, especially when it's the moment when I'm late, no one will sit down and help me with shoes, and Daniel just peed his pants.  But tonight, when I came home from work, I found two little munchkins running towards me, arms ready for hugging, so excited to show me the treasures from the day.  Whatever impatience I have with them, I love them a million times more.
