right now, I am…
thankful:: for the close friends I have that can just call and say they are coming for a visit… for the week.
hearing:: the short silence that is nap time in a house full of kids.
excited:: to take all the kids out for a movie adventure.
full:: from breakfast that was hours ago, but full of fresh belgian waffles and breakfast casserole.
wondering:: how it got to be late afternoon before I posted today?
laughing:: constantly from all the silly games, conversations, sing-songs and phrases coming from all the little people around here.
loving:: the way this rat-pack loves each other.
dancing:: after bath times to the sweet tunes of “The Wheels on the Bus” and “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes.”
laundering:: piles of towels, sheets, and clothing that comes from a household that doubled in size over the weekend.
anticipating:: the rest of the week being just as lovely and full as the beginning.
asking:: what are you all up to today?
wishing:: you all a fulfilling day, rain or shine (ours, unfortunately, is drenched in rain).
totally loving those faces and smiles…and the love! yeah!
So beautiful!! I received my package!! Thank you soooo very much!!!
such beautiful children!
All these pictures are awesome… I love your posts like this. 🙂
hee hee! this post is so cute! made me smile on a monday!
These are some truly great photographs. You’ve captured the moments so well. Thanks for sharing!
Friends are definitely a lovely addition to life. My friend went with me to the grocery today since the babies and I are all sick. It made the trip completely bareable and a bit enjoyable. We have the best of both worlds with micro bursts, clouds, sunny, warm and interesting all day with the weather!
Great job on the photos.
I love that in the last shot there is reading in the BATH! That is awesome! 🙂
OH how gorgeous. Who are all these sweet looking kids?
You are a better person than I am. I would have listed SILENCE twice ;). I am really enjoying that as my kids get older they are beginning to carry on conversations about life with their friends. And here I thought I knew all of my children’s thoughts!
Wow, you did it. You caught the beauty of these kids. Awesome. I liked seeing my boy too. 🙂
We had so much fun. Thanks for including us. Noah said that he had a good day and a lot of fun. He wished he could play like that everyday.
Much love. 🙂
