What Brings Me Joy

Between decorating for Christmas, trying to clean, and a last minute decision to rearrange the playroom my house looks like it got hit by a tornado, but I have decided to just enjoy being with my two boys on this Monday morning.  Amazingly they are both taking naps right now so I am going to share a few things that I am thankful for today.

These sweet smiles I get to see everyday...

The fact that Carson has been such a good sleeper and sleep from 11-6 last night.  Yay for 7 straight hours of sleep!

Christmas music and especially this new Praise Baby Carson received yesterday from Nana and Poppa at a family Christmas get-together.  We all LOVE it!

I am thankful for the small reminders that God leaves me while picking up Connor's toys.  Even in his own way, Connor understands where our focus should be.

I am thankful for listening to Connor "read" a book to me before his nap that he has memorized because he loves it so much. (Hopefully I can get a video up soon)

For Cole, who is such an amazing husband and father to these two little boys.  I love watching how much Connor adores his daddy.

For my mom, who is one of my best friends and has always been there for me.

...and for this little guy who will let you snuggle with him all day long!

"The LORD is my strength and my shield;
   my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.
My heart leaps for joy,
   and with my song I praise him."

Psalms 28:7
