November 18

With tight drop-off/pick-up time windows in play this year, I rarely get to walk Isaac to school. Part of me is happy to drive everywhere; after all, it's faster and easier on the old knees. But the other part of me misses scenes like this:

Since Isaac had a half day today and Abby had a regular day, I had the chance to go to the elementary school on foot, and I was totally taken with this scene when I rounded a corner. The sunbeams filtered through the trees so beautifully that I actually sighed aloud in admiration.

Sunshine reminds me of my sunshine, after all. And I'm deeply thankful for those reminders, even if they do sometimes make my heart wince just a wee bit.
