Time to Slow Down

My new favorite thing: Oranges and cinnamon sticks simmering on the stove

Our time at home since Christmas has been lovely and slow.  Kenny took two weeks off of work which was so nice, and the kids have had about two and a half weeks off from school.  We have enjoyed mornings of sleeping in, working on puzzles, and flying Kenny’s new drone.  We’ve watched lots of movies, taken walks around our neighborhood, and enjoyed mugs of hot chocolate and tea.  We’ve had time to sit, to read, to reflect, to play, to embroider and cross-stitch, to wrestle and rough-house.  These kinds of days are so refreshing and have refueled us to start a new year and new school semester strong.  These kinds of days are a gift and we acknowledge that these good gifts come from our Heavenly Father. 

Look for Anna & James waving and the drone flips!
