After a whirlwind of a few weeks with lots of work for both of us, Greg traveling and me hosting a shower two weekends in a row for friends getting married or having babies Greg and I decided that Sunday was going to be a family day. A day of rest and a day of giving all of our attention to the little man we love so much. When Maddox napped...we napped. When Maddox wanted to play....we played. We went downtown and ate at Mi Cocina and then let Maddox run up and down the sidewalks. He was in heaven. We walked by Razoos and a bunch of waitresses came out and gave him a balloon. He loved it and carried it with him for a few blocks. We stayed until we got too hot to think straight and figured if we were that hot then Maddox probably was too (although he was to busy to realize it). As we drove home in the late afternoon I couldn't help but look out the window with a smile on my face as my little one babbled in the back seat. I have no big worries in my life. Yes, there are the daily struggles. There are times when I think I have more than I can handle. God gives me strength and helps me to show grace during those times. At the end of the day though I am SO blessed. I have more than I deserve. I have a husband who cares deeply for Maddox & I. He tells me everyday I am beautiful and he makes smile more than once a day. I have Maddox who shows me each time I look in his curious eyes how precious life truly is. We are not millionaires, we are not glamorous in societies eyes, we are certainly not perfect...but we are happy. We are loved and we are taken care of. I couldn't help but think yesterday after enjoying the afternoon with my little family....This is the life. It is my goal and true desire to try and remember the simple things are what matter and the small moments are the ones that are the most special. This truly is the life!
