today

i ate almost half of a watermelon. all by myself.


i watched grey laugh so hard that i had tears running down my cheeks.


i missed matthew a whole heck of a lot. 


i wished i had more time in the day.


i enjoyed a delicious dinner prepared by haley. 


i got really frustrated and then realized that these moments pass too quickly. 


i watched grey fall sound asleep and didn't want to leave his side. 


i cut beautiful flowers from the yard and enjoyed them in the windowsill. 


i was gently reminded that following Jesus comes with a cost that is worth every single bit of it.


i listened as grey and tucker played together and was so thankful that i was there for it.


i tried to organize myself and failed. miserably.


i realized how incredibly thankful i am for my husband. again.


i felt the grace of God that overwhelmed me to the point of tears.


i watched grey dress himself and ride a bike all by himself and realized he is becoming a little boy.


i sang a lot with my children.


i held tucker as he snuggled into my chest and fell asleep.


i savored the moments of today.
