At Last...

We got a house! Hooray!!! We will be closing on May 28th and moving in 5 days after that. We are so excited. I can hardly stand it. After living in the basement I am really going to appreciate the little things about this house. Like, carpet, heat, and electrical outlets!! It is in Syracuse and it even has more than one bathroom. Hallelujah! I am counting down the days! I will post pictures when we move in :).

Just thinking...

Things my baby boy is trying to teach me...

*Appreciate the little things. He drops whatever he is doing to watch a bird chirp in a tree. He follows potato bugs across the sidewalk until they are out of sight. He points out every airplane that he sees in the sky. He gets so excited when he sees any kind of animal, they make him so happy. He loves hugs. He loves to make fish faces. To him, dandelions are flowers. He loves to swing. He likes to shiver when he eats something cold and then laugh and laugh about it. He likes to taste everything, just so he can experience it to it's fullest. He loves to be chased. He loves looking at pictures of himself and his family. He loves making "funny faces". He likes to dance. He says "hi" to strangers.
He reminds me to find joy in even the smallest things that are around me. Maybe dandelions really are flowers. I guess it's just a matter of perspective!
