The joy of Thursday mornings

One day my kids will be grown and not so dependant on me. Older parents says this happens very fast. I was never a true believer in that statement until we added a second child into our family. In just a few short weeks my "baby" will be 1 - since he's walking, already more of a toddler! How in the World did that happen??? It has been a wonderful, joyful, hard, beautiful, stressful year for our family - I'm sure other Moms know how one year can be all of those things rolled into one.

Anyway, when I look back I know that Thursday mornings will be a time that I remember fondly. What's so special about Thursday mornings at my house? The garbage truck picks up our trash. Since Grant was about Colin's age, he has had his nose pressed up to the window as he hears the truck change gears coming down the street. Its even more special now that Colin loves it as well. Its a time that I get to step back and watch my children be in awe. Its at that time I am so thankful God has allowed me to stay at home and witness this simple, but very special moment with my boys. So thank you, trash men you are a blessing in my family's life!
