Just be here, right now, and let this, this pleasure of being a parent, sink into my soul the way the apple juice popsicle drips right down his tummy.
Right here, I remind myself, standing perfectly still, neither looking backward or forward, but still with the simple belief that we will not always remember the last five minutes, that we will get through the next five minutes, and that right now is it.

One of the hardest things to do as a parent.
Much like Tuck's apple juice, parental moments can be "frozen" in time and leisurely enjoyed.

P.S. I've got to pick up Grandma Sandy at the airport. Do you think that she would find it humorous if I dressed like a terrorist? Just curious.
I couldn't have said it better myself... really, there's not a chance that I could have come close to saying better.
Exactly! And I agree with Nichole, there's no way I could have said it better either. You have such a beautiful way with words. Have a wonderful Independence Day weekend!
So, so true, yet so hard to put in practice. Thanks for the reminder!
The most rewarding and yet hardest thing when youre raising young children. Take time to savor each day.
Love and hugs and prayers,
