We have been bundling up and taking more walks to the beach. Sure, it is still cold... but manageable at least. Kaleb just loves exploring the beach and I enjoy watching the world through his eyes. Everything seems more beautiful at the sea, and everyone just seems happier... even the dogs seem to have a look of contentment on their faces, if that is possible.
Kaleb also makes a great morning coffee date. Daddy had some treatment to do at a local hospital, and thus Kaleb and I went along and walked to a nearby Starbucks. Give him his cheerios and a book and he is one happy camper. He is breaking out of his shyness more by the day and was quite enthralled with the other little boy playing alongside in the kids' corner. And swimming? Oh, it is ever still a favorite. I must say it has been a favorite of mine lately as well. (What pregnant woman doesn't enjoy feeling weightless?)
I am thankful for these sweet moments. In between all the daily tasks and demands of a mom and wife... there are these precious moments when you just want time to stand still. You don't want to move forward or backward. The other day we were praying for John before he went to practice and asked Kaleb to get daddy's shoes so he could go bye-bye. What did he do? He just climbed onto John's lap and held on tight, patting his back... as if to say "don't go daddy." These are the moments I will treasure for a lifetime.
