I love...

I love...
     
Coffee in the morning
The sound of raindrops on the roof
Children giggling 
The smell of fresh lilies
Candle light
Red wine
Catching up with friends
Waking up with my babies
Evenings at the park with my girl







Today I have been thinking a a lot about sweet Peyton and her family. The doctors confirmed yesterday that her cancer is not treatable. 


Things like this make you look back and reflect a bit. Things like this make you realize how silly some things are. How unimportant some things are. And how wonderful and very important other things are. 


How important is...having fine china? Owning designer jeans? How old your kid is when he/she sleeps through the night? In the big scheme of things? Not very (though...I do love me some designer jeans and I am sure SOMEDAY Esella will sleep thru the night ;) ) 


So go hold your babies and try to make an effort to take part and enjoy the things you love. Right now I am enjoying the sound of the rain drops on the roof in an otherwise silent home (aaahhhh nap time) with some candles burning. Is 3:30 too early for wine?? ;)

3:30 sounds like the perfect time for wine! Especially while it's raining and overcast.
