…my little boy running into the bathroom while I am drying my hair just to say “PHHHHHHBPT!” and then running away smiling and giggling.

…on garbage pick-up days when I tell my kids that I can hear the garbage truck on our street that they run eagerly to the window and yell, “THE GARBAGE TRUCK, THE GARBAGE TRUCK!”

…having coffee in my favorite coffee cup, it just tastes better in my favorite cup.

…that everytime my little girl is done drawing on her magnadoodle she has to leave it with a picture of a heart with a line under it. “The line is so that the heart won’t fall down,” she says.

…remembering the words to new praise songs so that I can sing them while I’m meandering through my daily routine.

…my little boy announcing to me out of the blue “dis is my tum,” as is raises his hand in the air with his thumb sticking up.

…that my neighbor Ron is home from Iraq for a month so that he can be here to strengthen his family upon the death of Anita.

…that although it’s cool and cloudy out, that all my tulips are eager to present themselves to remind me that they’ve waited all winter to reveal their beauty.

…that my daughter says “wook Mommy, wook!!” when she want’s me to look at something she’s doing or drawing.

…there are so many more things… but those are the ones that just now popped into my mind.
