The week in between.
Personal
"I turned around and there she was at the top of the tallest slide on the playground!" All of the stories that my Mom has from my childhood bring a huge blushing smile to my face, because I know I was a handful and I will get my payback with my own children. Like the time at the YMCA when I found my way to the bottom of the pool- Huge chipmunk cheeks full of air as my Dad scooped up his baby girl to the rescue. At eight-months-old, already walking and ready to give my parents a heart attack every time they turned their back, but with the biggest smile on my face. Needless to say I have been on the go since before my mind allows me to remember. I am a DO-er and a go-getter. Sometimes it takes a snow storm for me to be forced to just stop for a second to relax and just watch the birds, even if it is just from my kitchen window.
