The Clouds are Broken

By some miracle, I have a few minutes to spare this morning. Faced with my choices of what to do with this precious time, I stood looking at the giant pile of dishes in the sink and then my gaze traveled to the floor covered with toys. It was in that moment I decided that this was the perfect time to try my hand at blogging. So, armed with my morning cup of coffee, here I am.

I have been thinking about updating this blog in recent weeks. We have found Eli to be particularly funny lately, saying things that make us laugh quite hard. For example, last week Eli and I were eating breakfast and he was staring quite intently out the window. He looked at me quite matter-of-factly and said, "The clouds are broken." I looked out the window and was amused to see that the low layer of clouds was indeed "broken" with intermittant patches of sunlight. Eli has also requested before a snack of "broken cheese," which I finally determined was shredded cheese. I am constantly amazed at how he sees the world and how he puts words together to describe it.

It is moments like these that have made me think it is time to update our blog. "The clouds are broken..." That's just too cute to keep to yourself.
