"Forgiveness is the answer to the child's dream of a miracle by which what is broken is made whole again, what is soiled is made clean again"

I'm glad I didn't miss that!
I was wearing Levi on my chest in a baby carrier at church on Sunday. He was facing inward, with his chest against mine, looking off to the side at a friend who was saying hi to him. He's such a happy, social baby, and when my friend started talking to him, he smiled.
I know because I felt it.
His whole body lit up. His posture changed, his head bent towards her, his chest opened up, and he reached for her. I felt his energy and love filling up and pouring out of his little body. I felt a change in him. I knew he had his big smile plastered across his face - and he did.
Little Levi - your smile not only lights up your face, but you put your whole being into it. It's amazing and I'm so blessed to get to witness it dozens of times a day. I hope you know that when you smile, it lights up my soul too.

Thankful Thursday
Today I am thankful for...
... Asher going to preschool so I could have a nap with Levi this morning after his 5:30 AM wake up.
... lunch with a friend.
... boiled eggs on toast (I had a craving).
... some quiet time during the boys afternoon naps.
... sunshine-y afternoons when I can work in the house with the windows open.
... my mom getting off early to come spend some of the afternoon outdoors with us.
... finally getting my garden plot dug up.
... Asher's delight in the simple things. His joy and laughter when playing with the hose today was priceless.
... lazy summer afternoon walks.
... that Asher ate sweet potatoes at supper time.
... that Levi eats basically whatever weird combination of food I puree together for him (tonight it was whole wheat pasta, black beans, tomatoes, and sweet potatoes).
... my mom putting the boys to bed tonight - she rocks.
... strawberries being $2.99 for a 2lb box at Costco.
... sleeping with the windows open.
... connecting with a friend.
... end of day showers when I can clean all the sunscreen off and go to bed feeling fresh.
... and I can't forget this one, my husband bringing me home ice cream earlier this week because he knew I had a rough day (it involved a suppository for Asher).
