The moments in between

So, This past year my holiday was nothing grand, or super spectacular.   We did not go on a cool trip or really get any crazy gifts.

Now, we did have almost 2 weeks to hang out as a family.  We did this and did that and spend several of days in our PJs!  It was wonderful!!!

When it was time to go back to school and back to work I was ready for our routine back!  I think even the kids will tell you they were ready to get back to school.

And now it is 2 weeks later, and we are still going.  We are not in our PJs, baseball season is starting again, my semester is starting again, work is back in full swing, etc.   I have to admit this week I had the holiday blues.   Now, don’t get me wrong I love all the things in my life that keep us busy and going as a family!  But, I also love lazy days that involve no to-do list and PJs!

So, where is the balance?  It is in the small moments in between the crazy schedule when you:

· you are laughing as a family, dancing around to a Mary Poppins song.  (Dan is a really great choreographer if anyone needs help on a show.)

·      begin reading a book together with your kids, and you let bed time stretch a little late because the time reading is just what you needed after a long day.

·      Have a date night with your husband/wife where you can enjoy the person you married.

·      Have a night out with friends when you come home and your cheeks hurt from laughing so hard.

·      Enjoy the quiet moments of a devotion book or prayer time.

So, welcome 2014.   I can’t wait to see what you bring me, but I know my favorite parts of this year will be the little moment’s in-between my life!

See you all on Sunday,
