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… the daily rhythm we’ve created with schooling at home. The boys ask to “do school” almost as soon as I wake up, so we usually start right after breakfast and cleanup. Who knew school at 6:30am could be so fun? It should be interesting this winter when it’s still pitch black outside! 🙂
I WANT TO REMEMBER… D’s silly resistance to seasonal wardrobe change. Every spring, he tries to pull his new shorts down to cover his ankles. Every fall, he hates long pants. This morning, we had our first battle of wills for the new season…and I’m proud to say I won. (EDIT: Just found his pants hidden on the floor. And that boy strikes again…)
I WANT TO REMEMBER… fun family traditions being created. A new bakery opened up in town, so every Friday evening, we’ve been heading out for ice cream cones. Definitely a great way to start a weekend.
I WANT TO REMEMBER… how I felt when I watched my baby walk his first steps to his big brothers. The joy on the big boys’ faces as they hugged and cheered was pretty much the greatest thing ever.
I love this Ashley. It is such a great way to save some wonderful memories. I want to start writing more down as well. I don't trust my memory anymore and want to hold onto the sweet moments as long as I can!
