Today was much more laid back than yesterday. I am just not able to go and go like I once did. I have grown accostumed to being at home, resting when I get tired and keeping my boys close to me. I actually missed them the past few days, because there were so many distractions, I felt like I didn't really connect with them much. We slept in this morning and I caught up with a few friends on the phone. I got my workout in, then showered and headed out to do another photo shoot. This one was a lot of fun, as I was able to spend some time with the V Family. They lived across the street from me in high school and I always enjoyed being with them. They now run a bed and breakfast nearby so I went over to shoot photos of the grandchildren.
Today was another warm day, so when I returned home we took the boys to a local park. I watched as my four guys played with other children in the park. Lonely, attention hungry little boys who walked up to a total stranger to play. They threw a ball around for almost thirty minutes and these two other boys were captivated. D had the one little one giggling so hard and the older child really took to B. I am amazed by the friendly spirits of each of the guys and how others gravitate toward them. I also felt sad as I watched the one little boy leave with a dad who didn't pay any attention to him the whole time he was with my guys. So very very sad. Again, I pray that our family will be a beacon that shines light and hope in a world that is hurting.
