Feels like Summer!

I was thinking today, as I was driving out to Golden Gardens for a play date with friends, about how much happier I am (we all are) in Seattle, how much I love this great city, especially on a day like today, and how incredibly wonderful it is to be there when your kids find happiness in the little things, like toes in the sand, or seaweed in the water. It's yet another reminder of how fortunate we are in so many ways, how the most simple, most ordinary things can be so, so incredibly beautiful. How being a parent lets you see the world this way, and how even on the hardest days, I wouldn't trade it for the world.
