Let’s do this weekend over and over. Camping under the stars. Slowly listening to Calvin read stories to us by the campfire while sipping on hot coco. Cuddling as close together as we can through the night - because it should have been considered that it’s still too cold to sleep outside. Waking up the next day (after each of us slowly made our way back inside the house at wee hours in the morning) to warm coffee and cinnamon rolls. A rare treat these days. A slowness in time - just to talk about things that are important to us with the littles.

“Come down from the mountain, you have been gone too long
The spring is upon us, follow my only song
Settle down with me by the fire of my yearning
You should come back home, back on your own now” - Fleet Foxes
