it's the little things ...



...  a dual nap.  no matter how short.
...  eating a hot dinner.
...  a husband who always makes the coffee.
...  sleeping in-between two of my favorite people.
...  watching avery eat cereal. 
...  ibooks.  a book on my phone makes reading possible these days.
...  watching ellie sleep.
...  hearing avery say i love you.
...  a phone conversation without a crying baby in the background or a toddler stealing the phone.
...  FaceTime.
...  cooking on a weeknight.
...  having charlie and my dad here for 5 days!
...  dessert.
...  baking with avery.
...  clean sheets.
...  cloth diapers with a newborn.  they contain all the messes.
...  clean kids.
...  coconut oil.  i've been using it for everything.
...  the crock pot.  it makes dinner possible these days.
...  the hour or so at night after both kids are asleep.  
...  playing blocks and animals. 
...  when avery says "hold you". because i know someday soon she'll be saying "hold me".
...  amazon prime.
...  march!  spring is coming.  someday.
...  reading books with avery.  and ellie, too!
...  avery wearing sunglasses.
...  that moment in the car when everyone is quiet.
...  discussing future house plans.
...  catching up on hulu after the olympics.
...  texts from charlie when he's traveling.
...  watching ellie grow up.  grabbing toys, sitting in the bumbo, and laughing.  it really is just as good the second time around.
