Things to love...

that it's grapefruit season, Izzy's squeals of delight riding on the swings with me, my moonroof in spring weather, that I only teach nursery once a month, talking to my mom and sisters daily, holiday cards in the mail from grandparents, Elly's sweet smile and coos on a day with LOTS of crying, a lost and then found "KeKe" (Izzy's raggy blanket) in the mall, a family hike, Chad coming home for lunch and his spontaneous dance "moves", a box full of dresses for my girls from a sister, girls night of games and gabbing, redbox, that Twilight comes out on Friday, grape limeades from Sonic, and lastly, that there is love and laughter in our home.


PS-I was a mess when Izzy lost her blanket, I cried and she didn't. I was worried how was I going to cope if she lost it for real! I called Chad, and his first question (well after saying, "I told you, you should cut it in half!") "Did you say a prayer?". A tender mercy from Heavenly Father that day!
