God gives us the wonderful treasures in our lives that can have such an imagination! I just got back from my gig. Ashton is probably asleep beside our bed. Why he sleeps there I don't know. Heather will just throw a blanket over him and he sleeps right there on the carpet. I'm going to go upstairs and watch him sleep for a bit till I fall asleep. Awesome story Los.

One day, I'll take the time to not only open the door, but take pictures when I step inside. B) This is an encouragement to stop and enjoy the adventures I am invited into daily. Frankly, my kids imaginations confuse me. The live there. They dream something up and stay there, including me in the dialogue that takes place there. And I mostly refuse to interpret and instead ask them to join me in realityland. I don't even enjoy realityland, why would I do such a thing. C) You're a great dad. Stand outside that door and remember that. A) Great photo. One day, I’ll take the time to not only open the door, but take pictures when I step inside.

It just seems to follow me around everywhere I go, which I suppose some should since our 'work' is to lead people publicly to worship. I've gotten to the point of silencing the phone for the first couple hours home, not opening the computer for emails, and simply enjoying snack and Hanny Manny or Lil Ine-sine and jumping off furniture and chasing the white dragons that look like cats at our house. And yet, I read your post and am reminded of how important that is, and sometimes I overlook it! I think I'll pick up Chloe early today and try to beat my wife home!

Seemingly so much more clearly than my own.
