Simple

It's really the most simple things in life that can bring the most joy. These little chalky creations are where I found my treasure today. Simple and Sweet.

My Levi

Sometimes an ordinary picture stops me in my tracks. This is one of them. Levi is telling me in this picture, "This is a ghost." Pointing at the white blob on his pumpkin.

There was a very good chance that I wouldn't remember in 15 years what he was telling me when I snapped this photo, but now I will. These little freeze frames are beyond precious to me. If I can't keep him little, at least I can save a little moment in time like this...when I just love him so much it makes my heart almost hurt.

I just love you, Levi...and your ghost, too!

The Sweetest

Eden made a bee line from the bus to the house after school today. She always beats us home, because Levi likes to take in all the scenery. He can be one pokey-joe!

When Levi and I finally made it to the house, I found this on the front door.

I really don't think it can get any sweeter than that. An amazing tiny treasure.

The Letter "I"

Today's Tiny Treasure is brought to you by the letter "I".

Eden practiced writing the Letter I in Kindergarten today. She then had to complete a sentence that began with "I...

Her sentence: "I like going to church."

My sentence: "I like that Eden likes this."

Paper Puppets

My sweet Eden came up with these all by herself today and I think they are the cutest! My very favorite part are their red lips! Oh, how I love her creative little brain.

We had an action-packed weekend! Eden's birthday posts coming soon. All I can say is that I am one blessed lady. My family is absolutely A-mazing!

Stronger Hugs

Today's Tiny Treasure: Last night when Scott was hugging Levi for night night; Levi told him, "I can do a stronger hug". Then proceeded to squeeze Scott with all of his might. It was precious.

I think the world could learn bunches from my little man. We could all use some stronger hugs.

Thank God for Weebles!

Today's Tiny Treasure: About a month ago my brother and sister-in-law returned a toy we had shared with their kiddos when Eden and Levi out grew it. We packed it up, brought it home and I put it out in the garage. It was always a favorite toy of ours, so I tucked it away in the hope that my grandbabies, many years from now, would play with the old treasure.

Levi caught glimpse of the somewhat hidden Weeble Village this afternoon and asked if he could bring it in! "Absolutely!", I said - with memories of one-year-old Eden dancing to the happy Weeble music racing through my mind.

He brought it in, set it up and soon recruited his sister to join him! They made up little stories, had the weebles carrying on crazy bathroom related conversations, put the weebles in a long line to ride the weeble plane, had a crazy game of weeble bowling in the kitchen, and maintained the slide and moving sidewalks when the village had a "break down". Literally two hours of play on a toy I thought they had out grown!

My heart swelled. The simple joy of knowing that they are still so young and innocent. They are still my babies. It was such a happy moment for me. I am so grateful for my kids, for the love they share and for the fun they have when they play. Thank you, God for Weebles!
