mother's day full of things i love...cinnamon rolls + coffee, kind cards, car wash gift card, worship, praying with/for other moms, doughnuts, a run, coke and cheese dip, multiple naps in the car, reading, empanadas with my family
beautiful doughnuts (in conjunction with prayer and coffee)
being a part of trainings/meetings for ministries and events that are exciting to me
cheez-its and cherry coke powered cleaning with emma
zoe's ever increasing standing abilities...and her overall cuteness.
emma's courage in getting her shots (what i thought might be terrible was actually rather pleasant)
how fluent laura lea is at speaking my love language
when i catch my teenage son being oh-so-awesome.
hearing more of linda's and laura's stories
discovering sea salt caramels in zoe's diaper bag. my sister is so wonderful.
the way ms. linda loves on the little ones in our community group...something about how she was reading to bess was so beautiful
caroline's dedication to her school work
$3 iceskating on thursdays (what a fabulous surprise!)(since it cost so much less than i thought i was able to say yes to the vending machine!! ha)
iceskating with ship friends and shared-gate friends (both are the best kinds of friends)
listening to kids connect, re-connect, reminisce
how siri helps me spell words like reminisce

a very challenging/inspiring question
learning that it's SHAVE ice. not shaveD ice. and that the shave ice was BOGO today. and the friend who taught me to lose the "D" and shared good conversation over the BOGO shave ice. (it still feels a little wrong to say it that way)
a foot massage from micah (and that he saw a problem: rough feet - and found a solution: lotion!). i love him...and his mama...and the rest of his family.
nick's french toast making abilities...and the way the house smells so good after breakfast has been cooked by someone else :)
a week that has gotten progressively better and better
