A Celebration

Kicking, hitting, crying, thrashing. 
A celebration of joyful energy spent kicking balls, hitting high-fives, crying out pop songs, and thrashing in the pool. 
Arguing, growling, hurling insults. 
A celebration of intimacy, trust, honesty with siblings, love for Mom. 
Noisy, shouting, singing, shrieking. 
A celebration of unbridled childhood emotions no longer contained. 
Legos, paper scraps, silly putty, dog hair. 
A celebration of creativity. 
Dishes, laundry, pick-up, cook, dishes, laundry, pick-up, cook, dishes, laundry, . . . 
A celebration of the home's rhythms and rituals. 
Messy, imperfect, together, growing. 
A celebration of family.
