Phew. We are still busy these days.
It can be hard to find the time to document our happenings.
Sometimes, it is hard to find the time to be present.
I feel as though I am always multitasking.
Changing a diaper, answering a question, singing a lullaby to the baby...
I forget to really look into those deep brown eyes and mindfully notice how much he has grown. I forgot to softly kiss that toddler cheek during those few moments when he sits still. I forget to start at those chubby fingers while he nurses.
It is so easy to forget to be mindful during this busy, chaotic season.
Luckily, Summer has a way of slowing me down a little.
I do not feel as guilty about sitting around in the backyard or about putting everyone in the car and going for ice-cream after dinner.
The days are longer, lazier and lovely.
I am going to try harder to soak em all in.
