cheese dip and chalk

This past weekend was really great. We spent a lot of time together as a family on Saturday and that just filled my heart right up.  The past few months in the Morrison home have been really busy. The weekends somehow turned into massive "to-do" lists instead of just spending time with the ones you love.

This Saturday I was determined to not let that happen. It almost did, but awesomeness prevailed and we were all under the same roof for the entire day.

Allen surprised us (me and molly) on Thursday with a giant play fort for the backyard and we spent the majority of Saturday playing on that. Molly loved coloring the sidewalk with chalk and we took lots of water breaks in between.

Sunday morning Molly and I headed out to the Y and spent some time splashing in the pool. I had about 2 million sweet moments with her and had to mentally photograph all of them in my mind. We sat together in the water and played with some toys, we twirled around in the deep end, and we made new friends. Molly is a huge hugger and will hug just about anyone big or small.

This weekend was so beautiful. I am so glad I didn't miss things like: our gardenias in full bloom, watching molly make friends, celebrating Cinco de Mayo, molly learning how to nod (say yes) and watching her trust herself as she went down the slide all by herself.

What a privilege it is to be a part of this family that God has so greatly blessed me with!
