Reconnecting in the wash station after a somewhat hectic week.  Laughing together while getting important stuff done is so much better than rushing bedtimes in order to get projects wrapped up alone, before the sun sets (as was the scene the night before and decidedly did not work and left us all feeling frazzled).

They are so able and so willing, and I am so glad to spend the time with them, even if the work is slower.  Letting them know that they are capable, valued members of this family.  Letting me relax, embrace calm, and smile while taking care of business.
