"It's true that as a mother there is always a never-ending list of things to accomplish. Pay the bills. Check. Do the dishes. Check. Make dinner. Check. Do the shopping. Check. But are we successful if we don't notice the look on our child's face when he learned to "pump" on the swing by himself?... Sometimes success is when we don't get through the to-do list but instead stop long enough to notice the little things. To savor moments. Not only to notice the delight in our children's eyes, but to help create that delight."
Anyway, this book is full of little treasures like this one. Check it out here.
On another note... Brynlee is 5 months old today! Hooray! She has learned how to sit up on her own (a little wobbly, but not too shabby) and can now roll in every direction. She's such a joy! It's sad to look back on how fast she's grown, but I'm loving watching her learn and grow each day.

Looks like someone needs to clip those fingernails!
Tarryn: thanks for the reminder... I feel that lately I am definitely too busy focusing on my to-do lists and not on how Maddox is growing. Give your little girl a kiss for me-- she is definitely a cutie!
