2 Reasons to Smile

Reason #1:

Oh how can you not, looking at these squishy chubby cheeks? My little man is now 7 weeks old and he's totally melting our hearts. He is such a funny little guy. Today while nursing him in our quiet cozy living room, with only the sound of the rustling leaves out the windows, I was enjoying the peaceful fall atmosphere, contemplating how lucky I was to be blessed with such a beautiful completely amazing little family, when all of a sudden, my teeny tiny adorable Alex....completely rips a huge one! (think truck-drivers, lumberjacks, the like). He then looks up at me with a great big wide open grin on his face as if to say, "Aren't you so proud of me, Mom?!" My little man.

Reason #2:

Jeremy had told Courtney it was okay to pick the flowers out of our flower beds since it's getting so cold and they're going to freeze anyway, so Pick-Away she does. She picks them daily and brings them to me with a huge smile on her face and tells me, "I picked you a bouquet because I love you!"

Such a simple thing, but it totally brightens my day :) And how cute are those little bouquets in her little tea cups? And yes, her pants are little, too. I can't believe how fast this girl is growing! Looks like another pair of jeans to add to the 'give back to jazzy' pile. *sigh*
