Things That Make Me Smile

The touch of my baby's hand in my hand as she slowly nurses to sleep.

Hearing Isabelle read a big word, then look at me and say, "I am sooo good. Look at that big word I read!"

The sunshine.

Seeing my tulip bulbs start to sprout.

My girls giggling, all 3 of them.

Listening to Gracie reenact a princess scene with her dolls with great dramatics, then laying them down for a nap, all with their faces down just the way she likes to sleep...on her belly.

Seeing Christopher after a long day of kid work.

Christopher playing "horsie" with the girls and whinnying.

Getting in my pj's at the end of the day.

Peeking in on my kids once they are fast asleep, seeing them so calm and peaceful. I can't help but to give them one more kiss goodnight and tuck them in tight.
...
It's these small moments that get me through an exhausting day and make it all worth it.
