Some of my favorite things

Bill has been gone for a few days at school. Our house seems empty without him here. Jennifer and I are both missing him, we were missing the first day he was gone! He will be back on Friday afternoon for a short stay at home for the weekend and then it is back to school for another week. With our house feeling a bit empty I was thinking about some of my favorite things that I love about my family, so I thought I would share them with you.

My favorite things:

Listening to Bill and Jennifer talk and play when I am not in the room, they have their own little secrets and things they do that just make me smile.

Waking up in the morning and touching Bill's feet with mine, may seem strange I know but it is just one of those things.

Watching Jennifer's face light up when she sees Bill come home from work.

Watching Jennifer run across our backyard, her little legs simply going as fast as they can. For a girl with little legs she can move pretty quickly!

Going into Jennifer's room at night and seeing her fast asleep in her bed. She looks so peaceful and content.

Reading books and rocking at bedtime. At the end of the day there is nothing better than holding your baby and reading a story. The only thing that is better than this is watching Jennifer rock with Bill. The two get into trouble on some nights. What is suppose to be a quiet time can turn into Jennifer giggling like crazy!

Hearing Jennifer ask to watch Barney! Bill and I said we would not let our kids become Barney fans and yet it has happened and I do smile when Jennifer asks to watch him. She is so determined and her voice is just so funny.

Oh how I love my husband and daughter, to me they are the best people in the world!
