I’ve had a lot of time to consider this and there are just several things I loooove about children, many of which actually challenge me.

Humbling times
What a year, right? A TON has happened, and I cannot actually believe we’re in the last quarter of the year already. Not only did the year literally fly by, but it was loaded with …life.
