I think those moments are harder for me to find because I still have a big hole in my heart that only Matt can fill. But those moments are still there and I have to fight to find them. And it's good for me to document them to have to look back and remember! So here are todays for whoever still reads this silly blog:
1. Mornings often start with cuddles between these two. Madison is absolutely smitten with her brother and lights up when he comes in the room. He often just says "I want to give Maddie a hug" and gives her a snuggle. I caught this moment on film...
2. No photo, but Madison and I read books together today while Brayden was at preschool and I realized that it's the first time I've ever told her what a cow says...I think Brayden was saying MOO by 11 months. The life of a second child... Well, she just lit up as we looked through the books together and I pointed to pictures of animals and told her what they said. Then we got to go visit with Spencer, the Hilzers dog and she could not stop shaking her arms and legs of excitement when he licked her! I wonder if she'll be a vet.
3. We got to borrow a friends bike for a few months! Thanks Jack! Yippee for us...Brayden cannot stop talking about his bike. He doesn't want to wear his helmet but we told him no helmet NO BIKE! So he obliges. He got the hang of it right away....just in time for his 3rd bday tomorrow.
4. Then after a really fun bath (as B and M are really starting to play together in the bath) I got Maddie out and put her in her room with some toys and went and got Brayden out of the bath and when I came back, this is what I found....(the floor was clean before). First time she's pulled herself up. She's not even crawling on her hands yet...still army crawling.
And then my day ended reading books on Brayden's top bunk with him...on his birthday eve. Pretty sweet day! Cannot believe my baby is 3!

I still read!! And your days sounds wonderful :) Crazy to think that this time in our lives really is like a blip in the big picture. They just keep getting bigger and bigger don't they?? This is what I have to think about to remind myself to savor the looooong and tiresome days of today.
