Re: How do you savor the time?
Mine are not so little (they are 19, 15, 10, and 7). Savoring each moment means all the more to me now that I have the perspective of having my oldest away at college since last year and home only for holidays.
Here are what dh and I do to make the most of our moments together with the kids:
*Eat as many meals together as possible.
*Schedule date nights with each child alone about once per month or at least take 1 child along while running errands.
*Have daily tuck in rituals (or at least hugs good night) no matter how old the child
*Family game nights
*Family vacations and weekends away
*Lots of photos and videos we look at and use to reminisce often
*Holiday traditions like cutting down the Christmas tree, Christmas eve services, Thanksgiving and Easter get togethers with extended family
*Birthday parties
