Sunshine, Swings and yes Sunburns!

Since we topped out at about 65 degrees today, we decided to take full advantage and spend the day outside. First we went to the park for a picnic and to play, I brought some papers to study for my Lifespan test on Monday while the boys ran around playing basketball, climbing on the rock wall, sliding and swinging. But my plans of studying were just that, plans, because there was no way I could study. A million things raced through my head today as I sat on the ground in the warm sun watching my babies run around. I stared into the sky for a long time like I was looking for something, but it just made me think harder. Families were all around me, sweet children, gifts from God. I was so thankful to be able to watch my kiddos running around and so saddened at the same time. These are moments that Baby Coplen will never get to experience and moments that his mother will never get to cherish with him. I'm not really sure why but this is so heavy on my heart!
