This first thing I saw this morning when I opened my eyes were two little kids (my niece and nephew, 8 & 6 years old respectively) looking at me. They had been waiting for me to wake up. I don't know for how long, but their patience made me laugh.
I'm visiting my brother, his wife, and kids this weekend. This is a small blessing, a little break for the ordinary.
Today went extraordinary fast. I spent the morning shopping for a birthday present for my niece, then the afternoon whittling with my nephew (no one whittles these days!), now I'm heading to bed.
My niece will be getting baptized tomorrow. Kids grow up so fast!
