It's the little things...
Today, while I was cleaning the dishes, I looked out the window at my beautiful husband mowing the lawn, Everett was giggling in the background watching his favorite show, and Harrison, as always, sleeping soundly in his bed. I could not have been more content. Life is so wonderful, only if you choose to look at it that way. I love the little things in life - the little moments that give you that full heart.
I love Everett so much, I love Harrison equally as much, and as for Jack? Lets just say, I am so blessed and so in love. I am proud at how Everett is naturally a good spirited child; it makes my job so much easier. Yesterday, Everett and I were wandering outside and I couldn't help but get misty eyed when I thought of the day that I wouldn't be the only woman in his life. I want to hold on to him forever. I must not think like that, I know. I must live in the present. Ah, that is easier said than done. How often are we thinking ahead? I know I do.
Harrison, wow, did I score or what? He is nothing but delightful. He fills our already overflowing house with even more love (at this point it is pouring out the windows). Life is not a life worth much if we don't fill them with these precious little moments. I call it the Attitude of Gratitude.

You are so awesome! I love this post. It makes me realize I need to notice more of the good things more often. Thanks Sarah!
TJ and I just ran into your blog from Shar's. Just wanted to say hi, and that your little guy is so adorable!
I just read a talk by Pres.Monson called Attitude of Gratitude. How wierd! I've been reflecting on all the things I'm grateful for, too. We've got a lady in our ward who has just come back to church and her 18year old daughter was just baptised and she has just found out that she only has months to live. It's put us all into thinking about life and what we're grateful for.
How sweet Sarah! I loved this post. I always love little reminders of all that we have to be grateful for. You are right, it's the little things that are the greatest:) Thanks for sharing!
