Today's Moments

We've had to really SLOOOW WAAAAY DOOOOWN the last few days because I've been sick with a sinus cold. But thank goodness I started resting and was able to stop it before it turned into a sinus infection! (I get one really bad sinus infection with every pregnancy that knocks me out for a couple weeks.) I am feeling a lot better today and feeling really grateful for those small, wonderful moments in life. I wanted to share a few of mine from today.

Adelia informed me that she was "putting Baby Rabbit's hair in braidies." I can only assume so that his hair matched hers.

Felt well enough to sit down and wrap a few presents during nap/quiet time, and had to stop to admire the spectacular view out my bedroom window. I love our home, and feel so blessed to have it. Right now, I can't think of a more beautiful place to live.

Lincoln drew this picture for me during quiet time. It's our house, with our chair and our TV on the left, and our front door on the right. Outside our front door there is another package. I'm thinking I maybe ordered one too many of our Christmas gifts from Amazon, since the kid is so used to having packages delivered to our door that they seem to him a permanent fixture. :) 

Ivan delivering neighbor gifts to one of our neighbors. We went simple this year and did a two-liter bottle of Root Beer that said, "We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy Root Beer!" I'm so grateful to have wonderful neighbors, and children who like to run things up to the door so I don't have to.

Adelia on the top bunk during story time. Man, she makes me nervous...but don't even think about trying to stop her from going up there. Miss Independent!
