the simple things

20 things that bring me joy.......... a non comprehensive and not necessarily prioritized list:

1. Waking up next to the man of my dreams each morning
2. ...and then turning to see one of our little men crawling in for a cuddle
3. The smiles that go beyond the lips and reach deep into the boys' eyes.
4. Watching them create, paint, draw.....all of them in their own way, including the man of my dreams
5. A good hair day......don't judge.... I like my hair
6. Watching Willow roll in the snow like she would never want to be anywhere else
7. The freckles on our wee-est one's nose
8. The deep dark stare of our second oldest wee one
9.  Knowing that our oldest little man only has 1/2 and inch to go before he is taller than his mom
10. Belly laughs from the boys' room...even if it is at midnight
11. Seeing a mother wear her baby
12. Organization
13. Our yard
14. A freshly renovated room
15. Firsts (first word, first smile, first kiss, first snow, first warm day.........)
16. My husband coming in from work, safe and sound
17. The hugs I get when he comes home from work (even if I am trying to cook dinner)
18. Dancing in my living room
19. Windsor style Pizza
20. Remembering my birth stories
