"this too shall pass"

Things haven't been so picture perfect lately.  Hudson has suffered from anxiety and fearfulness amidst the changes we have undergone.  Clara has reflux and is a horrible nurser.  I feed her all day.  We have heard crying children from morning till morning and are weary.

In the midst of the hard, sweetness comes.  I shared a picture on instagram of Hudson helping me in the kitchen. As I watched him, horrible haircut and all, I was reminded of how I am called to treasure these days.  He made a big mess.  It took me double the time to make our breakfast.  Yet, I know one day I will wish he was a tiny boy again--eager to help me cook.

Loving the sweet moments. Enduring the hard ones. Remembering in both cases that "this too shall pass."
