Children Really Are A Blessing

Sometimes you have those moments in real life when you want to pinch yourself because you can't believe what's happening is part of your reality.

When you see your oldest daughter's smile and arms raised after she got a game winning hit to send her team to the championship game (and overhear her requisite phone calls to grandparents and friends). All this on the heels of one of the greatest weeks of anyone's life.

When you see your youngest daughter set up the croquet set in the backyard especially so she can play with you...after an afternoon in which you got to have lunch with JUST her filling you in on all the stuff going on in her life right now. We topped it off by reading a book out loud together.

Nothing really happened yesterday in the big scheme of the universe. At the same time, the most incredible things in the universe happened yesterday. They just looked like normal things.
