A Great Day

You know how morning comes quickly sometimes....TOO quickly?! That's what I was thinking as I rolled out of bed after having been up three times during the night (Katie twice, Tyler once). I do NOT like being woken up abruptly- and this morning was not different, however, when Tyler told me, "Mommy, my hungreem" I just had to smile. I made the decision to have a great day, and when I came downstairs and looked out the window, I saw this:

I LOVE our backyard- love that I can see across the field to the trees- and LOVE LOVE LOVE being able to see the sunrise. I enjoyed it until the sun came up above the trees- it was fun to share it with Tyler. He agreed it was "boo-ful, Mommy, boo-ful." :-)

Add to that Logan asking to hold Katie...what a great helper!! (Katie can't get enough of her big brother, so it was a perfect arrangement- even if it did only last a few minutes.)
And then James came home with flowers. I LOVE flowers!!! I'm not picky- well, that's not true, I don't really like $3 bouquets from Kroger because they die really fast...but these were definitely not that kind. :-) Here's my sweet little girl posing with my pretty flowers. It was a GREAT day!
