You guys are so funny and sweet!  I was a bit nervous about my post on Monday, I think because it is perhaps the most open I’ve let myself get in this space, postpartum in pajamas even, and you received me in all my imperfection so kindly.  Thank you!

Thanks to my husband, I was able to add another photo to the collection when he took this picture of the kids and I.  It isn’t perfect, but it is us – exactly as we are in the moment.  That, my friends, is something to treasure.

I hope you found some moments this weekend to treasure, too.
