Last week I was walking home through the schoolyard after kindergarten drop-off when it hit me--we are living such a wonderful, ordinary, magnificent life. Mr. Johnson, the children's most beloved P.E. teacher, was blasting The Beatles, kids were running and laughing and playing, balls were bouncing all around and Quinny and Ev were in the middle of it all. It was chaotic in only the best ways and I couldn't shake the gratitude that they are back in school--a school that is on the other side of their own backyard, in fact. The sound of happy children playing is one that I will cherish hearing from my kitchen for the rest of my days it's so beautiful. Would I have appreciated these sounds and these sights this deeply had we not been home from school for 18 months? Perhaps not. But I will never take a moment of their education for granted again.
Mismatched and crazy hair day
Twin day at school, and these blondies wanted to twin with their Mama!
Quinny and Ginny were twinners!
