As we enjoyed a much needed dousing, courtesy of Tropical Storm Lee, we found this guy...
We snuggled on the sofa and watched Soul Surfer as a family.And we watched Daddy extract P's first tooth...
Our day was capped off with BBQ indoors and a little dress up with friends.
Slowing down, scrapping the schedule and hunkering together as a family = good times and great memories. Everyone is tucked in snugly as the rain continues to fall...dozing off with dreams of the Tooth Fairy's highly anticipated visit.I tried to spend just a little time today reflecting on Labor Day, as an 'unemployed' stay-at-home Mama. While washing dishes this morning I mused (to myself) about the fact that homemakers don't get a stay-at-home vacation. Thankfully, that thought process didn't turn into a bitter pity party.
God is so faithful to renew my perspective. Tonight, as I reflected on our day I realized that I spent it being reminded of why I labor.
Truth be told, I labor for days like this--days when all the birds are in the nest, snug, secure and loved. Smiling faces, full tummies, joyful hearts, pure childhood memories, growing faiths, precious friendships--a fitting reminder on this Labor Day of the sweetest rewards of my work.

Congratulations P on the tooth...and I love the fact that you are reading in the middle of the group picture! Love you guys!
Ha ha Shannon. You know my boy LOVEs his books. At least it wasn't in his baseball glove in the outfield this time. :-)
