Things I Love About Today
June 29, 2008
Meant to post this last night…
1. Little red curls dancing just below Ella’s ears.
2. Pool party with very good friends; friends I’ve missed so much.
3. watermelon. The good, juicy, drips-down-your-chin kind.
4. the smell of chlorine mixed with sunblock–I don’t know, I just love that smell.
5. Standing under an umbrella at the pool in a rain shower.
6. Watching my husband cut up all of the fruit for the fruit salad. He’s a domestic diva. Or divo. Or whatever the manly version of diva is.
7. William — 6 year old William — making my bed for me. Just to make me happy. 
I could just squeeze him!
8. Lavender. Is there a better smell?
9. The Bluebirds in my birdhouse. How I love them. Really.
I am a thirty-something wife and stay-at-home mom of 4 little children. My days are filled with playdates, storybooks and homework; naptime, diapers and laundry; boo-boos, boogers, wet kisses and warm hugs. There are crumbs on the floor, and sticky fingerprints on the windows. It is a time in my life that is very challenging, but there are moments that are like epiphanies in which I see very clearly just how beautiful my life is.
