We left a side bowl of the egg dish, prepped without eggs 🙂
Mornings like this make me love my life, my home, and my family just a little bit more. Something as simple as a small family meal together can do so much for our week. With summer practically here, we’ve been able to start having an extra day together and an extra hour together in the morning. One hour a day to spend together can make all the difference.
Potatoes, onions, mushrooms, and tomatoes, served under broiled eggs. (Vegan) arepas my mom made the night before. Bread, always bread. And avocado, always avocado. Guava jelly. And a bowl of blueberries, because, why not? Easy. Besides the bread, maybe a thirty minute meal to prepare and a long time to enjoy. Alex’s grandfather (Marlowe’s “grand-papa”) and my mother joined us, creating a very spanglish morning for all of us. A Skype date is already planned for when she arrives back home to Massachusetts tonight. We’ll miss her. We already do. I love these mornings, they create peaceful days.

    That photo of Alex and Marlowe took my breath away. It is such a joy to me as a reader to see you all sharing life together after all that you've been through. It is a beautiful story of TRUE love… love always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. You guys clearly have a very special and deep and abiding love for one another that is evident in the life you are creating together. Many blessings, Drea. <3
