It's the time after the midday meal when everyone feels full and sated, without feeling the urge to move or go outside to roam around the fluorescent-lit malls. It's peaceful.
I'm currently planning on baking an apple-walnut loaf -- the lower calorie version, using homemade unsweetened applesauce as a substitute for (part of the) butter. And I will be using low-fat butter as well. I hope this will turn out yummy!
Hubby and the two girls are taking a nap. It was no mean feat to convince the kids to give up their weekend cartoon shows and rest. But off they went eventually. Right now they are all in one bed -- the little angels wanted Papa with them. And so he is with them, in the middle, with two angels flanking him.
For the bounty that has come to our table, for the quiet that has settled in the house, for the endearing picture of the children with their father sleeping peacefully -- these make life more beautiful, and blessed.
