I can't stop time, but I can enjoy the lazy days we've been fortunate to have recently and for the next couple weeks. I want so bad to be present in the moment with my child and it's difficult to do that for every moment of the day, but sometimes, those moments happen and you don't even have to try.

When I relaxed, I was able to just enjoy being outside with my son, and even got in on the painting action.
