The Big White Farmhouse

intentional living, little by little

June 17, 2011

{i want to remember} – 6/17/11

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 easy it was for D to warm up to Nana.  Since he hasn’t seen her since last summer, I assumed he would be hesitant and a little nervous.  But he went right up to her and started feeding her play food.  What a sweet memory.

I WANT TO REMEMBER… how the boys yelled “Come on Nana!  Let’s kick the ball!” when they were playing soccer in the front yard.  M specifically picked her for his team.

I WANT TO REMEMBER… how sweet it was to hear Nana talking to J.  He loved being with her and gave her many smiles and giggles.  I think she just melted.  

I WANT TO REMEMBER… all the stories that watching my three boys brought back for Nana.  It was so neat to hear her memories, like how Grandpa thought it was silly when she said, “Nakie babies”.  Such amazing (and so personal now, for me as a mother) family history. 

I WANT TO REMEMBER… how nice it feels to be with family, how special our relationships are.  How much we are loved.  We are so, so blessed.
