Sisterly Love

Julia did such a sweet and caring job of feeding sam his bottle last night, it was super sweet i just had to capture it on camera. :) i love these moments. They totally make up for the minutes of frustration, whining and arguing. The sweet little times of peace and love and joy. they are everywhere and if i catalog them i'm less likely to forget the sweet nothings that permeate the day.

Today after grocery shopping i was unexpectedly exhausted , and while i trudged up our stairs with a very heavy little boy to put him to bed, Julia began rushing about putting my groceries away. now.... this doesn't sound so strange i guess. but really, i would expect my mother to do something like this, not my three year old. ha!! i was so touched by her kindness. it was a nice Valentines gift for me. :)

my favorite thing about sam right now... well, maybe my favorite, he has so many likeable characteristics... anyway.... i truly enjoy the going to nap/bed time. He points toward his bed and gurgles. i say, "Is that Ba?(his bear) and Gruntles?(his horse)" and he gurgles more and more. then he lays down and gets zipped into his sleeping bag, and grabs his stuffies. then he proceeds to stuff them into my mouth and laugh hilariously. i love it. it is our little game. our little fun.

Dave has been working a lot lately, but taking so much time to make sure we have family fun. he took us swimming a couple days ago and it was sooooooooooo fantastic!! this man is incredible, really, i don't know how he has it, but he possesses a sixth sense that allows him to know what needs to happen to make everyone happy. And he is good at executing the necessary steps to get there. last night while i was away, he hung my curtains for me! did my dishes!! and prepared a snack for when i walked in the door!!!! :) man. really i don't know how i deserve such service but this man truly knows how to lead his family through serving. I LOVE YOU DAVE.

well. enough words for now. i need to go find a snack. :)
suuuuuuuuuuu

Sue, your world is really such a lovely one. there is so much contentment and sweetness woven throughout the stories of your guys' life. It's encouraging and honest and a blessing to read. That may seem cheesey, but it's true. :o)

And the 1915-ishness of your home is AWESOME. Old houses are so full to me.

Anyway, love you dear one and glad you're doing well!
