What I Imagined

Looking around at the kids doing their thing-- reading, working on homework, playing school-- I can finally say that this is what I imagined life with kids to be like.  

Until this year, I often thought to myself "this is not at all what I expected".  Maybe it is because I don't remember when I was really little, and therefore my own memories (or lack thereof) clouded my expectations.  I do remember playing school, and doing homework, and reading.  Now feels familiar.  This is what I expected when I imagined my life with kids.  It only took 10, almost 11, years to see it.
