It is the little things that tug at my heart. My little boy's feet, their sweet little toes. It is hearing them cry for "Mama" when they get hurt. The softness of their silky red hair. The way JCT runs up to me and hugs my leg. Joshua asking me every night to sing his two special songs to him. JCT's baby voice singing "Good Morning to You!!!" each morning. The sound of their laughter. Watching them roll around on the ground wrestling and playing. Listening to their little backseat conversations. Bathtime play and bedtime routines. Watching JCT drift slowly off to sleep as I sing to him each night. The softness of Joshua's cheeks on my lips as I kiss him goodnight. The feel of Elijah kicking inside me. It is the little things that catch me off guard each day and move me to praise my God. Thank You, God, for the little things.

Sweetness.... and love the picture.
I can so identify with that sentiment- my joy is truly in the little things God uses to touch me. When the girls finally go to bed and the house is quiet, all it takes is a glimpse of their little shoes by the door to fill my heart.(which is really a blessing- because during the day the same sight makes me wonder if they will ever get those shoes IN the closet! Something about sleeping kids softens my perspective.)
I am such a fan of little feet. Caroline has to tell me several times a day to leave her feet alone.
It is indeed the little things.
Those are the things that make life so wonderful. I can still hear those little voices. Now I hear them in my grandchildren. I think, Erin, it is a special gift to appreciate those simple blessings and treasure them. You are a special young woman.
Thank you for your sweet comment. I love spending time visiting you. You always bless my heart.
It isn't always easy to stop and pay attention to the little things...but it is rewarding.

Precious. Thanks!
You are so sweet. And what a perfect picture.
So very sweet.
Those are the things we have to hold onto for the moments when they're screaming. Good thing they're so cute. =)
That picture is amazing--you should change it to black and white and frame it somewhere in your house! (In fact, that's such a good idea I think I'm going to go do the same thing!!)
Oh, Erin, I miss you more now that I've seen you recently! Your precious spirit never fails to make me smile!! You fine thing, you! ;)
Amen & Amen!
