The Simple Things

I was reading this blog post, and felt like it would be the perfect addition to our blog.  Looking for the simple things in life...and trying to capture them - and enjoy them.  Sometimes I get so wrapped up in doing the laundry, cleaning my house, feeding my family and all the other responsibilities I have, that I miss the most important moments of the day.  Moments like these...

My sweet Clare has been sitting up lately.  I can't believe how big she is getting (much too quickly if you ask me).  One of my favorite things is how excited she gets when you go get her from her nap.  She has the sweetest little personality and smile.  She brings so much happiness to our home.

I don't think it would be much of a stretch for me to say that Noah's cars are some of his most prized possessions (at his old age of two and a half).   Whenever we talk to Grandma and Grandpa or any family on the phone, his cars are the first thing he mentions....followed by fire truck, big big trucks and so on.  He could spend countless hours playing with cars.  He talks about cars at friends house that he once played with, he talks about cars he saw on the road weeks ago.  Yes, Noah loves his cars....but as long as he loves his mom just a wee bit more, I don't mind.  

I hope to post the Simple Things on Sundays...but since I failed to get this up yesterday - here it is today.  If you decide to participate yourself, please leave a comment - I'd love to see.
