2.5 hours.
That's all the sleep I got last night.
{Elijah was awake -- still don't know why, but wondering if it was asthma related}
Still, despite my oh, so tired body, I'm going to share some favorites
-- those moments of joy in the midst of the everyday --.
And, today, I hope you link up as well.
{even though I put this up way later today due to my lack of sleep}
Joy is contagious.
It truly truly is.
*****
here are this week's {friday} favorites
silly Samuel with two nuks in his mouth
birthdays
enjoying a gluten free lunch on my husband's birthday at Olive Garden.
{and yes, they have gluten free items.
A total of six options. Deciding was challenging. hee hee hee}

watching staff and diners wave at cute Samuel
eating my gluten-free Andes mint after lunch
giving Samuel some of that mint
Savoring his grinning face as he tasted that chocolate
creations made by my kids
like some cool magnet structures
magnet structures in the middle of the day with beautiful light
middle of the day naps
{which I'll be needing today, say around 9am}
watching as counting by 5's clicks for my little ones
LUVS diapers
getting home from a ballet run
getting home from a ballet run only to be greeted by Hannah with her camera
melting snow
yes, melting snow
praying with my children
memorizing Scripture with my children
Gracie's laugh
hearing Samuel "meow"
{it's adorable -- I need to record it for you}
Gluten Free Mama's Flour Blend
gloves and mittens and hats and scarves that will soon be packed away
the amaryllis that my mother gets me every year after Christmas
that my amaryllis is finally starting to grow
how that amaryllis depicts waiting
and patience
late afternoon conversations with a dear friend in the ballet parking lot
cell phones
reading to my littles
laundry that is caught up
holding Samuel while painting my counterstools
{yes, post is coming}
playing parcheesi
eating ice cream with my girls at 10:30 at night
the time to laugh
and
wondering what Samuel is thinking while he's playing
