There have been many, many hard things about this pandemic. All the time at home, missing friends and family, lack of travel, lack of work… I could go on.

But one of the best parts has been the return of slowness to our house. The easy mornings. The snuggles and the talks. I know when things get back to normal, these are the things I’ll miss the most.

This week is spring break for us, and it’s dark and rainy. We’re letting the kid stay in his jammies as long as he wants, and we’re just pretty laid back in general. There’s a lot of reading, a lot of music and a lot of gazing out the windows.

I shot this yesterday in the late morning. I just loved the light on that little belly button.
