There was a time when we were almost rich. We didn't worry about the price of anything and while our tastes weren't extravagent, we could pretty much have anything we wanted. Now times are a little tougher. We sold the vacation home and we have had our main residence for sale for over a year. We are eating at home a lot more and taking less weekend trips.
And yet, spending time with our girls and just being a family have made this a wonderful year. Four and five are such wonderful ages. The girls get more fun every day.
Tonight after her bath, Chloe came down to the living room to play and snuggle with Daddy. She is wearing a cute towel that was made for her by the wife of our local chief of Police. Pearl has a matching towel. Doesn't that fire look toasty?
Yes, these are great times!

I'm sure it's the times such as these that your girls are going to remember and cherish!
Snuggle time with daddy is so priceless, it builds there self-esteem and confidence in each hug. Beautiful picture of kindly loving father. :)

Jill, Macie and family
Doesn't it amaze you now when you look back and remember the things that you once thought were important? Hope you had a wonderful holiday.
What a beautiful post - you get what so many Americans who are deep in debt don't.
Quality time with the kids beats out money any day! You obviously have a very full live with lots of love! Who needs the vacation home...
Children are the most precious treasure that we have. You are not nearly rich you are wealthy beyond most with those two darlings. Love reading about them. Keep in touch.
