Through the Filter

We had another beautiful day off, like this one. This time we decided to take a short walk (like 20 minutes, literally) in the woods. I learned my lesson about simplicity last time.

I swear I do actually fix that kid's hair!!

It's these small moments when we get away from our daily routine that I am able to see our lives through a rosy filter. We are blessed. We have a beautiful little family. I love them so much. Breaking routine and engaging in wholesome recreational activities is just the kind of rejuvenation families need.

(As a side note, if you have a very young family like mine, I would suggest making your excursion SHORT, close to where you live, and correctly timed with naps and feedings. I don't think kids screaming in cars would be quite as rejuvenating for me)
