today

Today was a good day. Lately there have been more good days than hard days.

Sure, each day has bits of ick, wah, or blech...but the bits are so small that the day seems good overall.

Today was a good day.

Nothing unusual happened. But it was good. I worked out. I got a free cookie while waiting in the Starbucks drive thru. I loved and enjoyed my boys. I visited my friend in the hospital and held her tiny newborn baby girl.

Noah discovered the sink and had a blast "washing" dishes. He is growing up so fast and I am just loving this stage with him.

A friend of mine said that she loves every stage with her kids more than she loved the last one.

Perhaps it's because each stage is more fun, but it's probably because we're continuing to learn, love and get to know our babies - who aren't babies for long.

I love my boys. I can't imagine life without them. I have never known such purpose and joy while doing things that from the outside appear menial and boring.

There's nowhere else I'd rather be.
