Days Off

My days off are times I cherish. Today is one of those days, and I am home alone with Aidan and Lily since Ernesto is working today. I woke up when Aidan climbed into my bed at 5:30, tucked his sleepy self into bed with me and fell soundly back to sleep. I also have a very foggy memory of Lily crawling up, but I have no idea what time she came in. We all woke up about 7:30 and had to run over to Walmart for some groceries. We came home, ate breakfast, and now they are watching Dino Dan. I have to clean up the kitchen, pack a picnic, and it's on to the park! Then this evening we are getting together with all the family and some close friends for my cousin Stephen's 17th birthday. (It makes me feel so old, I remember when he was born!) These are the days in life I treasure-the ones where I am surrounded by the ones I hold most dear.
