Simple Things

Sometimes life gets so busy that it is hard to slow down and notice and appreciate the simple things. We are trudging along with school, church activities and ball practices....well, and our normal activities of life. I find it difficult to spend good quality time each day with my kiddos, and it makes me sad. They are growing and changing so fast, and I want to slow down and savor even the small things...an example was this morning, John made pancakes and when Blayne asked him where the sausage was, John told him we were out. Blayne asked if he could write it down on our on-going grocery list that hangs on the fridge...John said sure...this is what he wrote...spelled EXACTLY how he pronounces it.
