Right Now.

Right now I am....

~ Loving Christmas Memories.

~ Wondering how long I will be called "Mama" and hoping it's a long time.

~ Exercising every day but not enough of it is outside.

~ Loving the possibilities and opportunities that are presenting themselves.

~ Looking forward to saying "goodbye" to 2011 and "Hello!" 2012.

~ Savoring quiet morning coffees.

~ Hearing "Mama that was the best Christmas ever".....

~ Feeling oh so grateful.

Things I am Loving (Take two!)....

• Reading books by the fire with little ones snuggled on my lap. When we finish one, a pile is brought out. They could just keep reading and reading and reading!

• Ben's favorite part of school yesterday. "You know Mom.... when you were there for math boxes this morning". Melt. my. heart.

• My new job.

• Second date in a week with my honey. That sounds a little decadent doesn't it!

• Christmas lights.

• Anticipation of Christmas present making and family date night.
  

Things I am Loving...

Story: We hadn't seen the kids in a few minutes so wandered to our front yard only to capture this image. The kids had gone over to our dear friend/neighbor Ms. Elaine's house and proceeded to pick up the job she had left. Her backyard was pretty much done when she returned!


These days I am so grateful for....
-helpful hands
-days off from school and PJ's until lunch
-new opportunities
-running through the woods
-dates with my love
-silliness
-fantastic parent teacher conferences!
-kids that love to go to school
-quiet mornings when the rest of the house is still sleeping
