Playing

I love when the kids are playing together happily. I love the sound of their little feet running around and their adorable giggling. Just now I was just taking a few minutes to check up on e-mail and stuff while the kids were having a good time together. They sound so joyful. The happiness Shawn can feel for the most insignificant situation compares to me going to Disneyland. His smile is from ear to ear. And I can hear Elise running behind him cheering him on. It's great! Then I look over for a moment to watch them and notice that the joy these two are gaining is from the helium balloon trailing behind Shawn. The end has a loop in it and the loop is around Shawn's neck! And Elise is holding the balloon. Wait! Stop! This joy fest must take a break.
