April 11

When we walk to the car after school, I often fall a few steps behind Isaac and Brady and just watch them interact. Sometimes they walk in lock-step; others, they put their heads together and laugh. Today, they walked a few arm's lengths apart. The scene is a wee bit different each time.

This afternoon, it occurred to me that my days of watching them leave the elementary school together are rapidly coming to a close, since Isaac will move on to middle school in the Fall. So I'm going to make a conscious effort to savor the simple moments like this one, even if they're nothing more than walks to the car after school.
