friday's musings...

no better way to start the weekend then to think about all of the things that i am loving about life right now...

1. finley sleeping on my chest right this very minute.  i rubbed my hands across her back and i had a nostalgic moment of running my hands across a very pregnant belly two junes ago...
2. the freckles across the bridge of oliver jack's nose...
3. calvary's giddy laugh when i come in to his room to check on him at night and how he scoots over so we can snuggle...
4. harper's sweet love note that she left under my pillow so i would find it right before bed...
5. watching the excitement of the kids when they hear the door open and shut when kyle comes home...
6. watching harper and calvary hug and kiss each other as they part ways in front of the school each morning...
7. kyle's hugs...
8. taking harper to ballet; those moments with just the two of us are precious and few.
9. calvary's lack of self-consciousness when it comes to fashion (high striped socks, leg warmers, and in-side-out jackets) because it completely contradicts his self-consciousness when it comes to every thing else...
10. campfires in our woods.  so many things about that statement make me happy...the fact that it is fall and campfires are appropriate, the fact that our family is together, and the fact that it is *our* woods...
11. how at the mere hint of rain my kids think that it is movie time.  oliver jack watched the leaves blow in the wind and he said, "you see it blowing mommy? we better go inside and watch a uubi."
12. walking in this morning and seeing oliver jack and harper snuggled up in her bed while she read books to him...
13. seeing calvary excited about starting to read all by himself...
14. the time after the kids go to sleep where kyle and i can have a couple of hours to ourselves...
15. the time just after nap time when jack wants to snuggle...
