Swirling thoughts of hope and promise.
Rejoicing in the moment.
Trying to push the worry of the reality of our situation to the back. For now.
Skipping school to create a memory. Celebrating with friends and family.
And then back to it.
Music lessons. Sick baby. Canceling plans and rearranging schedules. Dishes and bills.
A quiet moment in the midst of it all.


yes. we. can.

What a day!
And then, as you say, back to it.
But every so often - brushing my teeth this morning - I think:
PRESIDENT OBAMA!

Sometimes I wish I didn't have to "get back to it"....*sigh*

I love that photo-it completely represents my day yesterday--a new beginning and complete calm, along with some anticipation mixed in there. I hope the babe is feeling better.

Amy, that picture is beautiful!
I hope that Quinn is better, and that all this snow will melt soon, so I can venture out and meet you at Perks!
