I am luxuriating in my occupation.
At 4pm yesterday, the time when some cubicle dwellers are looking at their clocks and thinking “Only one more hour…”, I sat outside and watched my almost two year old blow bubbles. It was a shining moment, clear and full of meaning, where the beauty in my world almost overwhelmed me and I couldn’t help but be thankful for where the Lord has placed me. Blowing bubbles on a gorgeous Monday afternoon is definitely a perk of my job.
Another perk is the ability to throw out all the rules and have a little fun. This morning Livia ate Alpha Bits off the living room floor, joined me in eating a small mugful of M&Ms, and then got into a little summer fun on the last day of February. Results posted below.

Two years ago our arms ached for a grandchild. I never imagined this child from God would make our hearts laugh and sing. Nana xo

I’m holding you responsible if I come home and find it a mess because my wife exploded from the “cuteness” shards.

She just makes me laugh. I have to be careful when I look at her picture… have to maintain some sense of dignity at work…but this child has brought more laughter and smiles and warmth to my heart than I would ever have imagined.
