As parents we carry the blueprints, the dreams of what our family could be. The plans change, the whole thing goes way over budget, there are unexpected additions, and the work never ends. Still, through the messiness of construction we see each other with such depth and hope.

We draw energy and inspiration from our dreams; our simple, common motivations. --SIMPLICITY PARENTING ↗
