Everyday has a Moment.....


A moment is defined as a particular period of importance, influence, or significance. Our lives are made in the moments.
They change us, grow us, make us who we are, and they happen all the time. Welcome to our moments.....

The casualty

Today we woke up at 2:30 AM. Packed the rest of Uncle Bob's minivan (which he generously loan us so we could all get to the airport), and Dad drove our whole crew plus Aunt Rebecca to Buffalo Airport. Surprisingly crowded for 4:45 in the morning, we used the last of our active duty status (it ends in a few days) to get our bags home for free. A relatively smooth journey and a few short hours later, we were loading Lexi with our luggage and drive the rest of the way from our home airport.
Ahhh. Home.
It's was bedtime before we realize Russell's blanket was missing!
CRISIS! (I felt like the mom on Home Alone when she realized she forgot Kevin).
We determined it was left at the airport. We went in to break the news to Russell, I knew it would be bad but he cried like someone died.

Can we run?

Today is New Years Day so big boys went to big church (no Sunday school). Quint leans over about five mins into the sermon and says "can I go run around the room?"
I looked around the large auditorium full of quiet adults, and imagined Quint running full speed around....bad plan! Then i flashed back to a much younger me running around the church(when it was empty) while my parents were busy, and suddenly I totally understood where he was coming from. After a long pause,I shook my head no, but with a lot of sympathy. It was a fantastic question. Sometimes I wonder if adults would be better off if we ignored social rules occasionally. Just maybe not at church:)
