There were many truths in Katrina Onstad's Baby Wars article in this month's Toronto Life, but for me none more so than the simple fact that parenting is work. It is work on many different levels of course, but at its most basic the nightly sprint - or maybe it's a marathon - to get kids bathed, played with, read to and tucked into bed by sundown so that a decent amount of evening remains... it's work, man.
And then suddenly it's quiet.

What a wonderful post! The writing is perfect, it conveys beautifully what you had to say. The pictures are great, too: I love how they encapsulate those little bits of daily life.
Have a great week, and enjoy both the work and the quiet!
