Looking at these pictures completely changes the angle of my post today. We've had an interesting past few days full of sickness and sleeplessness. But it's not worth focusing on that when I have these little faces to remind me of why I'm doing this.
I truly have wondered lately how my mother did this. How did any of our moms do this? They must have looked at a lot of photos or just had a gift for recognizing what's really important.

For example: Is it really a life and death situation if I let Cole completely dismantle his cookie in search of M & Ms and devour the pieces off the kitchen floor?

And is it really so bad that Keith and Cole love their sister so much that they practically squeeze the life out of her?


And isn't it okay that every stick or similar item is turned into a weapon? Isn't that what boys do? (I did draw the line when the boys wanted to take the sticks to bed with them)


Yep. I'm learning to let go of a few things and only focus on what is important and necessary.





These 4 are it--the 4 reasons why I got out of bed this morning and remembered to smile.
