~Things (and people) I Love~

~ a bright eyed baby boy loving his first taste of oatmeal cereal (PLEASE sleep longer Finn, please?)

~ opening my bathroom vanity to find three toothbrushes smiling at me - having kids in the house can be just plain fun yall.

~ birthday roses from my boyfriend...and him remembering that I like the softer colored flowers.

~ owls .... they're just so stinkin' cute.

~ a closet that is getting ready for fall and winter...and the fact that one closet can hold four people's clothes (I still need to pack up Trin's 3 summer dresses that are in there.)

~ my new pajama pants from American Eagle (another gift from my hubby on my birthday.) I LOVE the bicycle print.

~ modern technology that is educational and can give this little mama a chance to wash that sink full of dishes and the 20 loads of dirty laundry that are always present.

~ this adorable book. If you love Mexico, beautiful illustrations, and teaching your children about giving to others....this is a Christmas must have.

....I mean, just look at that bag of pastries! Every time I read this I smell coffee for some reason...

....love, even if it's from a dog (remind me to sterilize my face later.)

....being a foster home to a puppy, even though I'm not a "pet" person. I consciously made the decision a few weeks ago to be a more loving person...to love others despite their history, their differences....to try my best to love the way Christ would love. I feel like everyday I'm challenged in a different way to reach out...weather it be to sick neighbors, a homeless person, or a little animal - I still have so much to learn. Anyone want a puppy?!

~ the fact that even though this key lime was delicious and the pie plate is almost empty - I only ate TWO slices of it (there's still two left and zac isn't home tonight wink wink.)

~ for a little boy that sings "Jesus Love the Little Ones" ....and points at me. :)
