Heart Smiles


Yesterday we didn't do anything particularly Valentine-y.
I had plans to bake a pink cake,
and possibly attempt cake pops for the first time.
It didn't happen,
yet there were many simple moments that made my heart smile -here are several.

  1. Hearing the LOUD giggles outside my office window, before I was off work. Daddy was home and wrestling with the kiddos in the front yard.
  2. A Godiva chocolate bar from my thoughtful Grandmother.
  3. Happy Valentines Day texts from Athena, Mom, and Kim.
  4. Seeing Archer offer his biggest clam (he LOVES them) to his Daddy at dinner. Love his sweet generous spirit.
  5. Watching Elle joyfully spin and sing to the Yodeling song on the Sound of Music.
  6. Watching Dan smile as he watched Elle spin and sing.
  7. Watching Grandma (Dan's mom) smile as she watched Elle spin and sing.
  8. Hearing Archer tell bedtime stories (detailed!) to Elle - including the 3 little pigs, Little Red Riding Hood, and some that he made up involving dinosaurs.
  9. Photos via text of my new great nephew.
  10. Sharing chocolate candy hearts with the kiddos - and making up stories involving Valentine candy.
