This was some Sunday and Julian was out of town. It was after church and lunch and it was in February when it should have been cold, but wasn’t. When I realized they were playing in the mud, I changed them into t-shirts and play shoes/boots. I remember sitting outside and just watching them create this muddy mess in the front yard and being in the moment watching them.Muddy_kids_018

I hate to admit that if they weren’t sick kids with an uncertain future, I probably would not have let them destroy the landscaping. And now, looking back at the picture, I’m thankful that on this day I was in the moment.
