What a great day.
{content sigh}
Nothing made this day extra special.
It truly was a normal day.
But everything just felt right.
My heart is so full tonight, after this great day, that I had to write it down so it'd be forever in my memory.
Was it a perfect day?
Haha, no.
Still toddler time outs.
Still frustrating parenting moments.
Still stressed about jobs, money, the future.
Still, always!, exhausted.
But it was something.
Or maybe the combination of several somethings all smushed together to make this particular day great.
Breakfast with my 90 yr old grandpa with the best French toast ever.
A visit with my 92 yr old grandma who was so exhausted from life she needed help getting dressed.
An 11 month old baby who took 3 steps--all on his own!!!--for the first time in front of Mommy AND Daddy and his Great Grandma Nore.
A hot pot of strong coffee with homemade creamer shared with my love of 7 yrs as we watched our two boys play cars together.
The rainiest afternoon that had our outdoor loving, can't stop bike riding, must play in the dirt 3 yr old saying "Dad, I'm tired of all that rain coming today."
A night that my sweetie brought home dinner unexpectedly and I was so overjoyed that I didn't have to cook dinner or do dishes.
The announcement of a Family Movie Night had our first born son spinning circles in sheer delight. He has heard about such movie nights, but we had yet to have one.
Our 1st ever "Night Movie" as a family. Winnie the Pooh on Netflix.
Blankets and pillows spread on the floor.
Us.
Snuggled up close and cozy.
Baby boy crawling all over us.
So happy to have us all at his level his was giddy with loud squeals.
And then a parade.
We followed the cutest little blonde haired, blue eyed boy around the house and up the stairs to bath time as he shook his maraca like he was leading a matching band.
That's it.
What makes today
A great day.
