Everything Takes Longer With a Baby

This baby makes everything an adventure.  He turns grocery shopping into a wild ride of noise and excitement.  We also spend more time cleaning up messes.  Because of the additional constraints on our time and schedules, we find ourselves focusing on the small, family-oriented things more.  We take walks in the evening.  We read the scriptures together.  We talk and nap and smile more.

Getting rid of the "stuff" in our lives has made us happier, not sadder.  What a strange thought.
