Springtime Breakfast


As Jon and I were lying in bed, awake but enjoying the birds chirping and cool wind blowing against the palm trees, the kids went out to the balcony, just off our bedroom. We heard some discussion but couldn't make out much of it. Minutes later; Baylee, Nathan, and Owen were pleading with us to stay in bed as they ran downstairs to the kitchen. A few more minutes passed, each kid was bringing up something to complete a simple breakfast outdoors. Placemats, bowls, spoons, cereal, milk, sunglasses, and a camera were now waiting for Jon and me. It was so sweet. The kids were very excited! We couldn’t eat there without our precious chefs, so we invited the kids to join us and they eagerly agreed. All five of us enjoyed breakfast on the balcony, overlooking the golfers, watching the woodpeckers and other birds, and enjoying the beautiful day God has given us. What a neat way to start the day.
