Emergency sunrise

This morning the girls and I kissed Viggo good-bye and he headed off to the bus stop. I shut the door behind him and headed back to the kitchen for round 2 of breakfast for Elin.

Suddenly the door opened and I heard Viggo say, "Mom, come outside! Hurry!"

I immediately panicked.

Maybe he missed the bus.

Maybe one of the neighbor kids got hit by a car.

Maybe their was a rabid dog prowling in the street.

Maybe the house next door was on fire.

Maybe there was something dreadful happening that I had no power or control over.

I threw on my boots and rushed outside to find this:


Viggo didn't want me to miss the sunrise. What a blessing and beautiful way to start the weekend!
