It Doesn't Take Much

We've had a great start to our school year,

but it's been a lot.

A bigger school load.

A full day of enrichment classes.

Waking up earlier in order to get it all done.

Just a lot.

All good stuff of course,

but just a lot less time to . . . well relax.

I was reminded this past Sunday, that it doesn't take much to make a day special.

Addy just finished a study on the book Three Names.

One of the activities was to visit an old barn.

So after church we grabbed lunch at our favorite burger joint,

and went on an old barn hunt.

This barn was AMAZING!

So incredibly beautiful!

I know it's a bit of a fuzzy picture, but do you see those wooden nails?

 (and then of course I went a little picture crazy)

It was a beautiful afternoon.

We all LOVED it.

I was sweetly reminded that it doesn't take much to connect with my family.

After a FULL week, it's so important to reconnect

and explore

and giggle

and feel so overwhelmingly blessed with what I've been given.

Addy's book this week is Owl Moon.

We just may need to go back at night and go 'owling.'

Hope you get a chance to find a simple moment to reconnect with the ones you love!
