Several months ago I prayed for God to help me see the little joys of motherhood, boy did He answer . . .

• The proud look on Ezra’s face after he comes out of his room dressed all by himself (11.25.08)
• Tobin singing “Jesus loves me” (11.24.08)
• Three kids in footy pajamas (what is it about those jammies that is so sweet?) (11.23.08)
• Watching Ezra make his first snow angel (11.16.08)
• Hearing Tobin shout out God, Moses, Pharoah, Jesus, Aaron to any Bible related question (11.16.08)
• Mari reading to Tobin & Ezra (11.16.08)
• Ezra telling me today at least 15 times that “you’re the best” (11.14.08)
• Catching a whiff of Tobin’s freshly washed curls (11.14.08)
• Watching the pure joy on Mari’s face as she heads off to school (11.14.08)
• Tobin’s perfect pucker kisses (11.13.08)
• Getting a great report from Mari’s teacher during conferences (11.12.08)
