I love your thoughts near the end on the goal of parenting. Really hits home. Such a wonderful feeling to truly enjoy the people your children are becoming!

OMG I completely relate to this one. My kids are 14, 11, and 7 and we are FINALLY to a point where our vacations actually feel like vacations (mostly) and where hanging out with them is genuinely a good time. I mean I won't say that I don't enjoy the quiet work time when they are in school. Because I truly do. But I also feel like these are the best ages. They are legitimately fun and funny. And now that my oldest is in high school I really feel the passing of each summer in a way I didn't when they were toddlers.
