...cleansing tears that help release so many emotions from within.
...the spontaneous moments that come from time at home, like my children helping me make eggs this morning for breakfast, Micah reading a book to me on the couch, Ella grabbing a tomato off the counter today while I was making lunch and eating it like an apple, the sweet sibling interactions that happen daily, and the giggles that came from Sammy when I tucked him into bed with a few tickles.
What are you thankful for today?
Love that last picture of Sophia and Sammy and also the one of all four kids with Mark and Lois! :) Sounds like there's been lots to be thankful for this week!!
