There are moments of Motherhood that will be cherished forever! This morning, Ruthie and I went out for a morning jog. The air was crisp, school buses buzzed by, the sun was shining, and I felt a perfect peace in my heart. We walked and jogged for a few miles, and ended at a park near our house for some playtime. We had the entire park to ourselves! We swung on the swings, read a book, and played with toys. As we ventured home, Ruthie took a snooze, and has been happy ever since. We made a memory that I hope is etched on my heart forever.
I was so happy to enjoy our morning, as this particular morning had me worried. It was the first day of school for the district. My first non-first-day of school in a very long time. I was really afraid I would feel sad. But God is good, and my morning was ideal. I felt God's peace that passes all understanding and a deep contentedness in my soul. Thank you, oh, beautiful God of ours for affirming my decision to stay home with Ruthie this school year. I know we will make many more perfect Mommy daughter moments, and I can't wait for each and every one of them!

What a beautiful reflection on your choice to stay at home with Ruthie. You're a wonderful mother!
That is very sweet. :) Perfectly written and Ruthie will appreciate reading it someday.
I love it. The weather has been so beautiful, it makes me so greatful to experience it with Maya. PS...I left baby w/ Grama, Great Grama, and auntie Natalie for an hour & 1/2 today! I think she was overly taken care of.
