I just finished reading four books in a row to Lauren. I love how she snuggles up, laughs and gives a running hilarious commentary as we turn the pages. As I read the last book, her brothers came in from outside and joined us on the couch, quickly and quietly entranced. So there I was sitting with my whole heart right next to me. I'm thankful for these sweet moments tucked in the unstructured days of summer vacation.
