Change of Plans


Today I had a million things I wanted to accomplish during Bryce's naptime, so of course it was shorter than normal. :-) When I heard him crying, my first response was frustration that I would not finish my projects. Then I was able to take a step back and decide that I was going to make the most of it. I keep thinking about finding more joy in each moment, and not being so stuck on "my" plan.
The weather was beautiful, a little chilly, so I scooped Bryce out of bed, threw a jacket on him, made Emily change out of her princess nightgown for warmer clothes, and we headed to our local park. We picked up a few friends on the way. It was so much fun! I even had Dallin dropped off there after school so that he could play for a while. I don't always make the best Mommy decisions, but this is one I am glad I made.

Look at the happy face on that cute boy! He must have the best mom on the planet. :) You are a good mom, Kelly. You really, really are. Your kids are so lucky.

I bet you had more fun too! I chose to play trains this morning instead of miscellaneous other projects that needed to get done.

My book came!

I loved this posting. It reminded me of what President Monson said "Find joy in the journey" You are an example to me!
