Things that make me smile!

So it has been a LONG time since I have posted - probably should have posted an update a long time ago on the previous post about the car seat. The short version - through Graco (and God's grace) we were able to buy a replacement part for $10. Amazing!

But on this sunny day, while the house is quiet, I thought I would make a short list of things that make me smile today (in no particular order):
  • Creamed Corn from Sweet T's
  • Hearing Ethan sing "The Father's Love"
  • Thinking about how I will decorate my new house
  • Squirt Soda - - current addiction of mine
  • Talking to Jeremy on the phone
  • Seeing Ethan run up and give Gracie a big hug and a big smile on his own initiative
  • Getting to church a few minutes early - even with getting the kids ready and everything
  • Watching Ethan's face as he watches Kung Fu Panada
  • Thinking about the Great Shepherd and his love for me
  • Knowing that in 16 days I will see Jeremy
  • Knowing that in 10 days I will see my mom
  • Looking at all the boxes that I have gotten packed with the help of some special friends - couldn't do this without them!
  • Relaxing on my couch
  • Allie being such a helper with me with Ethan
  • As weird as this will sound - crunched up mini wheats on the floor - - because I am realizing these moments will pass all too fast
  • Singing The Glories of Calvary at church this morning
  • Being so welcomed into a fellowship group this morning at SRBC
  • Seeing Mrs. Dolan holding Ethan in the nursery
This list could go on and on - - - so much to smile about! Who knows when the next post will be - I know the next two and a half weeks will be crazy - but updates will come for sure!
