A Wrinkle in Time

Last Sunday afternoon, Aidan and Aubrie were messing around the family room, playfully wrestling with each other. 

I saw Aidan pinned to the couch and decided to enter the fray -- or that was my goal.

Aidan stopped me.  He said something like: "No Daddy, Aubrie and I are playing." 

This was the first time they deliberately did NOT want me to play with them.  Usually, they're begging mom or I to join them.

It struck me, quietly, that our little ones were growing up, and that there would only be many more moments like this.   It was a wrinkle in time that I wanted to capture with a blog post.  Nothing more.

Speaking of growing up, Aubrie's goal this summer is to read a chapter book.  She's come very far and I think she's ready for first grade as demonstrated by this video segment where she's practicing her Primary scripture and prayer.
