Wild Things

Yesterday was a tease. Offering what the summer will bring, but also what I will have to give up for a while.

Temperature in the 70s. Blue sky. Off of work by 4. As was KZ. So we met up, she picked up the kids and we went to the park. Got to hang out, playing on the swings, going down the slide. And then going for a stroll on dirt paths around the park, in a very cool wooded area. Darn, forgot the camera.

Bedtime rolls around, and the priceless moment was getting to read Ian and Emily their bedtime story. Emily was in my lap, Ian was propped up hanging off my side, and both were grabbing and turning pages. Growling. Showing fangs. Hoping that I get many more nights like this before I leave, and hoping that there is a day when I get to read bedtime stories to Ryan, Jordan and Haley too. Wishing that all the kids in my clinic had parents who would actually read to them at night...
