I Love

I love that my house is clean right now.

I love that I have time to keep it clean right now.

I love ironing.

I love Julius's post-bath clown hair.

I love Livvy's endless stream of hugs.

I love Elijah's less-constant but heart-achingly sincere shows of affection.

I love that Julius can ask for things now (like grabbing Mom's shirt and saying cup-cup-cup... okay, Jules, let's go find your cup).

I love the rain.

I love living in a trailer where you can hear every drop.

I love that the kids and I are having Spaghetti squash fresh out of the Beaver Family Garden for dinner.

I love my husband who is working so hard for us.

I love God for letting me enjoy all of this. Whatever darkness may lie ahead, today is a wonderful time to be alive.

p.s. Julius dropped my camera in the dishwater, so you'll be enjoying old pictures for awhile.
