Little Things

I have found that it really is the little things that make me smile and remind me that I have a pretty good life. For example, a few minutes ago I heard James say "That's so funny!" a few times in a row. It made me smile so big, and of course I texted Ben right away and told him. I love that boy! Below are pictures of some of the little things that have made us happy this summer.

*Disclaimer: There are loooooooots of pictures.

Bubbles!
 Using my macro lens


Hiking



Family time

Popsicles... lots of popsicles

This girl always brightens my day when she shows up!





 This little worm made Theo really happy

Finding arrangements like these make me smile.
 Splash Pads and Playgrounds!

 More hiking

 Popsicles again... and riding the bike!

Uncle Brian

Theo always requests Boomer, Blanket, Binky. Then he's happy.

Trips to IKEA make mommy happy

 Watching these boys forced into sitting next to each other and being okay with it!

These boys have playing more and more together and interacting. It does this mama's heart good.

I really enjoy setting up new train tracks for the boys.
