Little Joys of Life

There are little things (that feel like big things) that bring smiles to my face and joy to my heart. I'm taking the time to write them down to remind myself at a later time:

1) Today was my 12th week checkup at the OB and John brought the kids along. It was fun to see Sydney's eyes widen and pay very close attention to the sound of the baby's heart beat. Caleb just said "Baby?"  Joy! Joy!

2) Since I was feeling good in the morning, I took the kids to the Oriental market after the doctor's appointment. I bought so many yummy snacks and food that reminded me of home. Then I came home and made us some Won Ton noodles with dumplings and the kids really enjoyed it too. Joy!

3) Watermelon

4) Sunshine  JOY! joy! JoY! 

5) Sitting outside watching Caleb playing with rocks, while I was able to read my Bible and actually take a few thoughts captive. I hadn't been able to read my Bible much while I was sick and I missed that. Oh Joy! oh Joy!

6) The ability to actually eat and enjoy what I'm eating. To feel good and active again. Joy!

...and those are just some of the simple (and yet BIG) joys of life!
