Blessings

Starting off another week after a weeknd of both B and I having the stomach flu. It was one of those weekends that makes me appreciate my health and that my precious kids don't ever get sick. Little B and I camped out on "our bed" as he called it (aka towels on the floor) and he snuggled in all night.

I got a swim suit for the trip to Costa Rica...the experts picked a bikini. That is terrifying! And we ended the weekend with a wonderful evening at Sesame Street Live. Bekcham sat in amazement (minus the last 15 minutes when he was "ready to go"). He loved Big Bird and Elmo. He did the dances when he was supposed to and when we were leaving he said "More, just 1 more time!" He thought that we could make it happen again...oh to see things through the eyes of a child.

I feel filled with hope, peace and excitement as I tackle all a new week of managing a home, working, cleaning, organizing, loving and laughing. Before the craziness starts here my heart rests to thank God for just a few small "gifts".

22. Stillness, darkness and vanilla tea
23. Tears of joy that I get to be his mom
24. An empty laundry room and a husband that helped make this possible
25. Rainbows- God keeps his promises and my 2 year old that tells me that
26. A home with enough room to hold the activities of my family when the temperature is sub-zero
27. An organized and clutter-free master bathroom.
28. Gods whispers in the quiet of the night.
29. Health- that the stomach bug is only a 12 hour one
30. Stillness- no wind, the trees stand tall and silent as if waiting on a message from God. So waits my soul...
