I have so many favorites...this list really reflects the "right now" of the moment. I'll wake up tomorrow morning and it will all have changed. Something I do love consistently is having Hannah fall asleep in my arms every night, kissing Matthew's big, delicious, sweet cheeks every day, listening to Jake tell me funny jokes, and hearing my husband's car pulling into the driveway every night. I love getting phone calls from my family, celebrating Christmas every year, and Halloween. Autumn leaves, BBQ, dates with Chris and sleeping in are also high on the list. Oh, I'm so glad that thinking of favorite things isn't a hard task for me! I get overwhelmed with all the wonderful things I appreciate when I make lists like this. It makes me realize how blessed I am and how much I have to be grateful for!

I got this list from a friend's blog...now it is your turn. What are a few of your favorites?

You forgot "favorite sister: Carrie of the any-time-non-profit babysitting" (that's at least got to put me high on the list, right?)

I love my family!
I also love the color red and chocolate mint brownies with a tall, cold organic milk. I love when James stays awake with me for a bit talking after we go to bed, rather than immediately snoring. I still love when we hear the door and it's Dad home from work (or church, etc.) I love freshly highlighted hair, clean house, and above all my very favorite thing in the whole wide world is a big, dimply, gummy smile from Caleb, as they are still somewhat rare and not always intentional!
