There was something about this morning. All 3 kids sat at the art table painting watercolors of pandas and complementing each other's work. Eric and I sat at the kitchen table, discussing the paper and drinking Chai tea. It was a scene from any household on a weekend morning. And in those moments, it all seems to easy.
Of course, in time, the water spills, the whining resumes, Josh finds a way to launch the others into annoyance-induced fits, and one of them unfortunately locates a flute.
But those moments --those moments of a new family falling into their rhythm, finding their harmony-- they are rejuvenating. They are what I will remember when I look back on this time.
