i choose this

i remember the sundays pre-children. pete and i would lay in bed, read the paper, watch movies, putter around the house with nothing to do. there was togetherness and moments of needed solitude. there was silence. since we've had kids we have had moments of longing for those sundays back. after this morning though, we choose this...

snuggling in bed with the kids

tickling each other

watching bob the builder

laughing at will trying to get his shirt off

listening to sam's "made-up" stories about how 

too many people throw their garbage in the ocean

and hurt the animals so they have to go to the animal

doctor until the worker tells all the people to not throw

their garbage in the ocean anymore. (WOW! all on his own)

i don't remember anything i ever read in the paper way back when, but i will always remember the moments like this.
