A Relaxing Saturday

Sometimes I think we're so busy "getting everything done" that we forget to be a family and enjoy each other. We used the good weather portion of today to cut the grass, go to the zoo, eat lunch together and then hang out outside on the deck, (Jonathan and I lounging while Eliana and AJ "painted" the deck with brushes and water). So simple just to sit there and enjoy each other's company, we need to do it more often. I learned this lesson when my dad died when I was a teenager and I guess today reminded me how important it is to spend and appreciate the time we have, not necessarily doing things but building our relationships and being together.
