The moments

• Dancing in the kitchen with Zachary in my arms with the music turned up way too loud, his peels of laughter mixing effortlessly with the music and his little hands always trying to grab mine indicating his desire for one more polka around the island!


• Its 80 degrees and we went for a swim in Dawn's heated pool.


• Hopefully finding a reason why Brandon continues to get headaches and migranes more often than the average 9 year old. The prescription in his glasses needs a major change (even though he just got them 9 mos ago!)


• A gas powered leaf blower- we spent Saturday cleaning up the yard- all that muck that gets stuck in the rocks. gone. hallelujah.


• we didn't have to get up early and make lunches this morning. I am learning to love these days off more and more.


• The Cardinals won. We're proud to admit we are fair weather Cardinals fans just like the other 6.5 million residents of AZ.


• Watching the boys try to run their own football plays in the backyard.


• Matthew said he wanted to be Kurt Warner in response to our Table Topic for Sunday evening. ( What famous athlete would you like to be?)


• a loving husband who has taken care of me all week after passing on a nasty cold, which somehow exponentially got worse when I got it- and I just can't shake it.
