Enjoying the little things in life

So among our crazy adoption story, and feeling very overwhelmed with life this week, I am focusing on the little things in life. The little things I hear, and see everyday, that make my life what it is. So, hear are a few of the things I have the privilege to enjoy everyday with two very amazing little boys.

Easton, age 6
* Gives me a back massage at night before bed if he thinks it has been a long day.
* Brushes my hair, because he knows that I love it.
* Puts his hand on my face as he starts to fall asleep at night. (every night)
* When he makes a basket during a basketball game, he still looks up in the stands at me to make sure I am watching, and flashes a smile.
* Loves to help me cook or bake.
* Sits in a chair, and his feet still dangle without hitting the floor.
* Loves his cousin Kaitlin, and up until last summer was considering her for marriage when he is older. (glad that was all cleared up)

Keaton, age 4
* When he is sleepy, he lays his head on my shoulder and begins to twist small strands of my hair. By the time he falls asleep, it is a mess!
* Sets the table using toddler forks and spoons, because that is what he is used to.
* Yells "Mommy", when I walk through the door. Even if it was a 10 minute trip to the store.
* Wraps things from home in a gift bag, brings them to me, and waits for my reaction. This ALWAYS puts a smile on my face. Last thing I got was a can of corn, a picture he colored, and a ponytail holder. (Didn't matter to either one of us)
* Gets excited to see fire trucks, an ambulance, or a train.
* Loves to take a field trip to Lowe's just to sit on the riding lawn mowers.
* Truly believes that a KISS will make it all better.


Thank you God for our boys.
