This is what's important

It's a quiet time, these last few days before the holidays officially end and the world picks up pace again. 

It's not actually quiet in our house. With the hooting of hatchlings and the TV on in the background.

We didn't always have the TV on. For the larger part of our first hatchlings life, we didn't have a TV at all. It's one of those concession that have come with having children with additional 

needs. Sometimes, being the perfect parent that I hoped to be, isn't the parent that my children need me to be.

Anyways, there is little in the way of a peaceful Saturday. There is a cold clean frost outside on the fields. And the wind is low enough that the sea is gently rolling without too much enthusiasm.

 I hope so much to focus more this year on our family - there is nothing else more important.
