October 24

There's something very soothing about this image.

I took it this morning at about 8:30, just after we dropped Abby and Isaac off at school. While I stood on the path that runs from the school to the nearby park, Brady wandered off to run around this tree.

Round and round he went, his little sandalled feet crunch-crunching on the fallen leaves beneath the branches. There was a stillness to the air and a calm quiet that brought about such a sense of peace.

Given that my life tends to be something of a cacophony of sound, a little silence now and then feels quite winkish.
