All month I've been thinking about the things I am grateful for. As always at the top of the list are my two girls. But this year I am also especially grateful that they are growing closer each day, enjoying each other's company, learning together, playing, sharing time and space, and developing the relationship I dream of for them.
I don't know, but I'd say our leaf prints are almost as pretty as the real thing, don't you think? And I love that we recycled grocery bags for this project.
I have been unable to drive for a few days and so we've been home an in our hood a lot. At first we felt a little cooped up and sad to cancel certain plans. But there's always a silver lining... and this 3-hour walk though our neighborhood was definitely one. We enjoyed the last of the gorgeous fall colors, found a bed of leaves on which to sit and snack on dark chocolate and dried fruits, the girls held hands and picked all sorts of lovely treasure. We've been having perfect days like this all month. We are so lucky.
Oh, it thrills me to witness these first friendships! Sabrina carried her friend's bag and lunchbox all the way home from school. Once we arrived home she offered her bed in case the little girl felt like taking a nap "before starting our playdate."
