Delights.

Sunshine. Flowers blooming.  Birds chirping.  Birds running on the ground and watching their little legs.  Babies laughing.  The smell of babies.  The feeling you get after a good run.  Starbucks coffee.  Good heart to hearts with friends.  Laughing til you start crying.  Watching babies start to walk.  Seeing babies LEARN.  The smell of cut grass.  When the girls sleep in til 7:15a.m.  Sunsets.  Palm trees.  The lakefront.  Fireflys.  The smell of brats grilling.  Ice cream.  Good hugs.  Road trips.  Sweet potatoes with marshmallows. Rainbows.  Triplets.  Letters in the mail.  Bike rides.  Pulling weeds and getting the WHOLE root.  Seeing pregnant women rub their bellies.  Windows open.  Mountains. Country music.  Puppies.  Kisses from my babies...even when they're slobbery.  Watching my girls sleep.  Seeing Addison, Emily, and Hailey make each other laugh.  First words. Holding hands.  Date night.  Morning talks with God.  Calls/emails from old friends.  Memories.  
I'm just having a great day because it's sunny out and seriously, sun gives me so much energy.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!  This morning we went down to the Lakefront with some people from Ryan's work for a walk to support a cure for MS.  Then I planted some annuals which I really shouldn't since we inherited SOOO much beautiful landscaping when we bought our house.  But I'm really starting to get into this gardening thing during naptime.  I'm trying anyways.  :)  But I'm realizing how much I love being outside and gardening gives me a reason to be out there!  Then a neighbor came over and we went for a run...and once the girls wake up we'll take them for a bike ride...then it's on to Shane and Jody's for dinner to celebrate an early Mother's Day.  I LOVE spring and summer!!!!!!!

At the Lakefront doing the MS walk.  
The first mow of the year.  YEAH!!!!
The girls were a little apprehensive about the lawn mower.  No crying...just backwards stepping.  :)  Then they plopped down and seriously SAT still and watched Ryan mow our whole yard.  They were enthralled.  It was so cute!  And nice to be able to just sit down with them and relax outside!  
Trying to get a picture of them in their Dordt College (our alma mater) shirts
