two is company…

and three is a crowd.

That’s usually how it goes around here with a 2, 3 and 4 year old.



But every once in a while, they all find something to do.

Together.



Today they were playing outside – notice all the sweat goin’ on, we actually hit the 80’s today – and they all three ran back in.

Chattering away.



They’d been digging around in the beach toys and, clearly, had found something worth getting excited about.



They played and giggled until I could resist it not longer. I just had to get my camera out.

Oh, to be 2, 3 and 4 again.



And to find such joy in the little things.

    …but since we can’t be 2,3, and 4 again, God is SO gracious to give us 2, 3, and 4 year olds to watch and live life through their eyes!!!!

    They make me want to go get my goggles out of my beach bag. ๐Ÿ™‚

    HUGS!
