The Big White Farmhouse

intentional living, little by little

November 11, 2011

{i want to remember} – 11/11/11

Sometimes life gets so busy that I forget to notice and appreciate the little things.  Here are some of the things I am loving this week:

I WANT TO REMEMBER… how appreciative I am to all of the brave men in my family who served our country.  They are true examples of selflessness – what a gift for my boys to see and grow up with.

I WANT TO REMEMBER.. how the big boys “knuckle” each other and “blow it up” at the end (this they must have learned from their either their father or their uncles!).

I WANT TO REMEMBER… how J is a cleaning machine just like his Mamma.  He waddles around the room, picking up random items that his brothers have dropped.

I WANT TO REMEMBER… his J kicks his legs when he’s either excited or angry.

I WANT TO REMEMBER… how school always runs more smoothly when I’ve planned ahead.  I’m going by the seat of my pants this week and you can tell. 

I WANT TO REMEMBER… how a clingy baby with four teeth coming in at once is a sign to slow down.  Like everything, this is only for a season. I’m going to enjoy all of these extra baby cuddles while I can!
