i am grateful for this moment
~ Watching tru run with floppy arms around the yard to gather the balls and bats. He stopped to blow a bug off the fence. When we ate popsicles he kept his hand on my leg. He wore his kickball shirt with pj bottoms (seeing as the other 4 pants had blast-o-poop on them from today!). Cute lil’ boy.
~ Seeing my mom hold Eliza. Glad we live close enough for my kids to know Grandma & Grandpa.
~ Laying down for an hour with only a few kid interruptions.
~ Date/Movie night with Jimmy & Eliza.
~ Remembering a moment from the other day when Max emphatically corrected Hannah, “Her name not Lizzie… her name Baby D’liza.” Makes me laugh.
~ Sitting in the bright sunshine on the porch with Max.
~ Abe’s wide eyes during FHE when he learned that someday he could be a God & create worlds.
~ Hannah making muffins by herself for a snack for the fam.
~ Tru laying on my shoulder and saying, “Love you.” (without being prompted!)
~ Abe commenting on how long his leg hairs have grown. He’s very proud to be growing older.

Oh Heather, love this! So good to savor the little moments. I love that you capture them on your blog. I need to be better about documenting the small moments, not always the bigger, usual ones. You’ll be so glad you did one day when in the blink of an eye our kidlets are all grown up. I sure love ya, loved your comment on my blog. It made me smile. It’s so nice to have other mothers understand isn’t it! I wish you lots of energy, I’m sending you vibes across the miles. I got 6 straight hours last night with no kiddos waking me up to walk them back to bed, or needing a drink, or having a bad dream! I’m feeling great this morning! Yay! I’m thankful for you and your wonderful example of motherhood. I think about you a lot and how you handle things so positively and how you always have uplifting thoughts to carry you through. They help me too! Loves! Have a good day!
P.S. So funny about Abe’s leg hairs. So cute that he is proud of them! Kyler’s feet are now bigger than mine. Isn’t that crazy? It will definitely be crazy when they start getting taller than us too won’t it!
Enjoy D’liza’s newborn snuggles. I’m missing those!
