A date with Molly


really happy girl in the snow and sun




While my sister Mandy kept Lucy I stole Molly from Pre School and took her to the ski hill. She was nervous at first, having been off of her skiis for the last 2 weeks. But after one run she started to warm up. We got four runs in before it wast time to cruise back down the canyon and drive the carpool. I felt like I was playing hooky from my life; but I guess in the end spending time with my kids IS my life. And I don't spend enough time, alone, with Molly girl.

Great harvest cookie rounded off the date together, and both of us were thrilled with our mid-week trip to the slopes!

coming hopefully tomorrow; learn what Home means to my friend Melissa, who raises her family in her native South Africa!

What a fun day! What a great mom you are! I love taking the time to treasure those moments with our little ones. They grow up way too fast.

I love that Molly girl. There is something innately sweet about her smile and eyes. Somehow I feel connected to her. Maybe we promised to help each other in the preexistence. She makes me smile and that is a good thing. Will you give her a hug today from me. I love her mom too.
