Natalie:"There's a monster under there!"

Caitlin:"There's no such thing as monsters, just people dressed up like monsters.Then there's people like Scooby Doo who catch them and bring them to jail for scaring us."

Its moments like these, laying in the dark, between my two little ones, that I have to simply lay it all aside. Forget the worries of the day, forget what has yet to come, forget what has yet to be done, and just be. For a moment I bask in the beauty of the world through their eyes, grateful that they have each other, forever grateful that they were given to me.

Children are a crazy, amazing, beautiful, worrisome, hair graying, scary, rewarding adventure. I'm happy to have been invited on this ride.
