Today was one of the best days I have had in a long time. I went to the gym and had a really good run. I had an eye appointment and then Joe, Taelin and I went out for lunch. We did some shopping to get a few things we needed around the house. We then spent about 3 hours in bed. Joe and I took turns napping while the other entertained Taelin with iPad apps and books. We got up and went to dinner (I didn't cook a thing today!) and when we got back we built a blanket fort which Taelin decided to sleep in for the night.
Nothing too exciting, right? Well...probably not too exciting when I just type it out but I honestly wasn't looking for exciting. I was looking for just "being". It was absolutely just what I needed. And, without even really planning it, I was able to check something off my list. Here are some of the pictures that I snapped during the building of above mentioned blanket fort.

| I didn't really know how serious Joe was going to get about this whole thing. |
 |
| Easily my two favorite people! Love them! |

| Adding a door. She was slightly upset there wasn't a garage. |

| In case you can't tell, this is a pull-string light. |

| The two things she decided to bring in the blanket fort: books and her lacing cards. |

| Final product. Spoken as a true geek, Joe says this is the "beta" version. |
I can't really put into words how much I love these two and how much I love my life with them.
EDITED 8:55 a.m. morning after: Taelin slept in the blanket fort all night and when I woke up and wandered out to the kitchen around 8:00 I hear her call my name. I go over and stick my head in and she is sitting with her stack of books beside her, a little frustrated that she can't read the words, but mostly enjoying what she called "the quiet morning time." She is currently sitting in there playing puzzles...
