Blessed

Today I feel so blessed and lucky.  First, I woke up to a world covered in beautiful white snow and a snuggly 4 year old tucked in bed with me.  We soon added another cuddly little boy and watched tv with arms wrapped around each other for an hour or so.  Second, the kids then moved on to an hour (+) bath.  Joyful splashing is such a beautiful sound. Third, the boys stomped around outside in the snow.  Fourth joy, we went to the store and bought whatever we wanted without worry or fret or counting pennies.  Fifth, the boys and I shared a subway pizza.  Everyone in the shop was watching our table and smiling as the boys merrily chatted away with one another.  Sixth, seventh, eight and nine, we drove in a working car, arrived at our wonderful home, turned on a warm fire and took naps.  The day is only half over and I have so much to be thankful for.  Thank you God.  

Can anyone tell which child is the collector/hoarder in the family?  

Summer is officially over.


I don't know what Cole was more excited about, stomping in the snow or wearing his new boots.


Case concentrated on making as many tracks in the snow as possible.
