1. Hugs and smooches... a lot of them from Nana, the "Queen of All That is Huggin'-n-Smoochin'."
2. Walks up to the barn with PopPop and playing the "I got your nose!" game a few gabillion times while you sit in his big chair.
3. Neat little hideaways and spaces to relax or let your imagination fly free.
4. Chances to be creative... and silly!
5. Food... heavens, the food... like early morning peach smoothies in your jammies.
6. Catching up with Hope's friend, Minnie and Maddie's buddy, George... they're always waiting to be scooped up on that small, heart carved bench in my old bedroom.
7. Surprises... like a family shower on Easter for our Baby Girl! As people were carrying in gifts I--no lie-- joked with them about how, "You shouldn't have just because I'm in town!" I really thought the pink packaging was for a younger cousin's recent birthday. :) It means a lot to be remembered, even this third time around... a reminder that her new life is not just
another miracle... it's
a miracle all in and of itself! My favorite part was not those girly boxes, though; it was the late afternoon prayers and tears shared over our family. I find myself literally aching to hold her in these days of waiting.
8. Time to sneak away with Aunties... and not enough hands to take pics and keep Maddie from sticking her hands right in the mouths of "MY BIWDS!"
9. Enjoying the world's most lovable dog... insisting he get a proper "night night" EVERY night.
10. That familiar brick house atop a hill that we know will leave the light on for us until next time.
