This past day and a half have been particularly great. I can always find happiness in each day, but it is rare and very special to have a day when all goes well.
Yesterday, ME slept until 10, so Thomas and I got lots of one on one time. We colored together and did preschool workbooks.
Late morning, I got to hang out with my mom, sister, nephew, and kids at my sister's house. My two enjoyed playing outside while I got to hold James. I think Lauren enjoyed playing with and laughing at my kids as much as I enjoyed holding her newborn! James reminds me a lot of how Matthew looked as a newborn. It is fun reliving some of that magic with James!
Yesterday afternoon while ME was sleeping, Thomas did puzzles outside while I read and got some sun on my legs. I felt like I was in college again!
Last night, my brother, who is in town on business, took the boys to a Baylor tennis game. They had a blast! Michael said Thomas's eyes were like saucers on the way there. He is enjoying getting bigger and getting to participate in "big boy activities"!
This morning after I dropped the younger two at MDO, I accompanied Matthew's kindergarten class to the zoo. I was so happy that the trip fell on a MDO day! I got to hang out with (and supervise) Matthew and his two favorite friends in his class. A morning thunderstorm threatened to cancel the trip which would have devastated Matthew who woke up at 4 in the morning to inform me that it was "Zoo day"! Fortunately, it cleared up just in time and we enjoyed beautiful weather.
I finished my book last night and completely enjoyed it. Now I am reading The Count of Monte Cristo. It is very long, but I enjoyed the movie so much, I watched it three times in the theatre and a good friend said the book was even better. I can't wait to dig in!
Matthew will be home any minute so I need to get ready. Have a great day!

Tell Thomas to Go with tennis....yeah!!!
I love planet alignment! Mine have been out of whack lately it seems. Hope you have a nice weekend!
Elizabeth,
I told Alycia you said hello and told her about your blog. She said she's going to give it to her mom, too. I think the Browns have connections to everyone...my husband is from Montana and so is Carol's mom. They know a lot of people in common from MT. How random is that?
This is a small world, isn't it?
