This day got away with me. So many days do. It was rainy, gloomy and fast-paced. There were not any particular highs, nor were there any lows. It was just a day, like so many days in my life.
So here I am after 8, thinking: "what in the world should I do for my happy post?"
What happened today? Not a great deal... And yet, everything. Life is in the minute little details. The things that are so very easy to take for granted. Today, Brooklyn and her friend from next door put on a stellar concert for me, Owen and Henry. It was Frozen - go figure. Today, I clashed a bit with Peyton. She is growing strong and opinionated. Even in the midst of our little conflicts I know I love her deeply, and I know she feels the same. She is testing her boundaries and learning to express herself. Today Owen crawled all over the house and started experimenting with going up the stairs. He said "Ooooooh" a lot (his favorite expression) and he pointed to the tree by our front door every time we walked by. He loves being outside. Today Quincy played her recorder for an hour straight -- hot cross buns and mary had a little lamb (don't be jealous). Today, after work John drove over an hour away to pick up a new sand box for Owen's birthday that is coming up. Today, I folded laundry, made blueberry muffins, drove my kids here and there, kissed them all... and yet, it was just a "regular" day.
It may be surprising to know that before I met John, I told myself I didn't want to get married and have a family. Looking back, I think I said that because I didn't believe it could ever happen. I think it was my heart's secret wish that it *would* happen... God sees our secret wishes, and I believe the wish in my heart was granted. These people, my family, make me so very happy -- each and every day.
