Just the Little Things......

I don't really have anything in particular to blog about tonight. Life has been pretty normal. We did have some fun last weekend but I will save that for the other blog. It's been a quiet week around here. I am planning and preparing for Ian's party this weekend. It should be lots of fun. It is so hard to believe my last baby is going to be five years old. I really love this stage in my life. Don't get me wrong, I loved having little babies and I loved the toddler stage as well. I am just loving the present stage too. It still amazes me how unique and special God has made each day of our lives, and how intricately he weaves all our days together to create the life He has planned for us.....simply amazing. I look forward to every new day and the special blessings that come with it. It is so easy to overlook the things that make life seem mundane or monotonous, but those are more often than not, the things that we should be most thankful for. Some of the things that have made today special are the time I was able to spend out and about with my hubby including the fact we were able to do this while my older kids babysat the younger ones. While babysitting, they even cooked a yummy meal and had the house straightened up when we got home. Another special blessing today was going to get a pedicure with the big kids and being able to act silly and laugh with them. What's even more special, even though they are teenagers they still ask me to hang out with them! That in itself is such a blessing! Last but not least, to end my day, Ian sweetly asked me if we could just go snuggle for a minute.....what could be sweeter than that. Thank you God for the special little things that are so easily overlooked. Thank you for blessing me each and every day.
