I'm laying in bed trying to sleep because I have the worlds worst sore throat (somebody please call the Guinness world records book) and I can't sleep. Go figure! I finally have the house quiet no where to be, no one to drive here or there, all because my family has been taking such good care of me. The laundry is done. The dishes are done. The kids are taken care of. It's all good!
But I can't sleep.
My head is spinning, but not like the usual stressed out can't shut off my brain because I have so much to do and I don't know when or how I will get to it all. It's because I miss them, and my mind is full of all the sweet and hilarious moments and the things I love about my family and life. So I thought I would share it with you, purge it ,and then maybe get some sleep.
I love when my husband takes me to the doctor and casually says to me as we are walking out the door "You know.. I was watching you while you were talking to the doctor and you're even beautiful when you are sick"
I love that Paul still carries Arden to bed after she has fallen asleep next to me in our bed. The way her long legs and arms flop over him and she settles her head on to his shoulder like she's still 3.
I Love to listen to Paul and Logan talk basketball on the couch. They remember every name and score and converse like equals and I can get a glimpse of the friendship they will have even after Logan is grown.
I Love the way Arden still dresses up in funky character costumes she creates, or sings and dances around the house.
I LOVE that both our kids are silly and goofy and aren't afraid to show some personality.
I love that they both still kiss us on the lips.
I love it when Arden sings in the bathtub and Logan plays his guitar in his room and they don't think anyone is listening. But it fills the house with music.
I love the countless "I love mommy notes" I get from Arden.
I love when Logan says he's glad his mom is young and cool and not old like all the other moms .
These are the things I love . These are the moments. I'm sure you all have moments like these too. Hope you are paying attention to them. I'm trying my best to. :)
Hope you enjoy the video... sorry about the mooning... She is Paul's daughter.
