Joy in the Simple Things
>> Sunday, September 12, 2010
Smushing their faces into the bars of the playground because it seemed like a good idea at the time.
Running with abandon on a perfect fall-ish afternoon.
Giving PowerMan a ride on the airplane and truly believing that they are both flying.
Smiling, Laughing, Having Fun
All this plus: Snuggled up with Mom and Dad at the end of a busy day/weekend, reading books and saying prayers and singing along to the songs Hubby and I are singing to soothe them.
Opening their eyes when on the edge of sleep just to say "Love you, Mommy" then closing them again and letting sleep fall in.
Waking up after midnight, disoriented and crying for Mommy, but easily persuaded back to sleep once the comfort of Mama's embrace calms their sweet hearts.
I want to remember everything about these boys. I want to hold on to these days in my mind forever. I want to remember their milestones and big events. But also, these simple joys that fill our days.
All this, and so much more.
