Today I am grateful.

As I was giving Paxton a bath in the kitchen sink just 20 minutes ago the sunlight hit the top of his head and I saw all these tiny little peach fuzzy hairs growing on his head. He has been bald for the whole 5 months he has been alive along with cradle cap, so to see these tiny little hair sprouts popping up made me smile. For that I am grateful

I am so grateful for Harper and her growing personality. She is incredibly smart and is learning and talking more as each day passes. She can count 1-10 in English and Spanish.  She is learning to sing the Happy Birthday song and we are practicing every day so we can surprise her Mimi next week when we see her for her birthday. She can sing her ABC's and ends it with "now Harper knows her ABC's next time won't you sing with me." For that I am grateful.

I am forever grateful that Josh picked me to be his best friend and wife. He does the littlest things that continually reminds me that he thinks I am special and that he loves me. He is considerate of my feelings and understanding of my quirks. He accepts me for who I am and he can always make me laugh with his silly witty jokes. He pushes me to talk about my feelings when I want to bottle them up and it always makes me feel better in the end. He is basically the best person that has entered my life and for him I am grateful.

I am also incredibly thankful for all our friends and family who are coming to visit us during the summer. We have a full house of guests up until the middle of July and I could not be more excited about it. We appreciate everyone making the trip to come see our family and I promise you will have lots of fun and be well fed while you are here.

Nothing big happened today to bring this overwhelming feeling of happiness over me. I woke up, went to kickboxing, went to the grocery store and am now back at home about to start dinner. It is the small things that come up and make me smile that really help me realize that I am one lucky wife, mom, friend, and person. It really is the small moments in life that make it all worth while.
