I want to write something fascinating, or humorous. And if it can't be humorous then I'd like it to be thoughtful and deep. Unfortunately I'm just not in that place tonight. Besides, I can't hope to be as funny as my husband. Right now the deepest thought in my head is how nice it is to be at home, in my pajamas, relaxing. So, I apologize for giving you really nothing to read. I'll just say this - enjoy the simple moments in life. Enjoy being with your family. Enjoy a hot drink. Enjoy lounging around in your pajamas.
Stay in your lane. Don't look at other people's papers. Those couple of lines jumped out at me as I read Maria Goff's book " Love Lives Here" It reminded me that we can't all live the same life.

Tim found your bold today so I got to check it out. What great pics of Caden! What a cute kid. He sure is getting big.
