A Week's Worth of Thanks - Day 4

Today I am thankful for quiet moments at home with my family.  I love Sundays.  They are usually lazy days for our family.  We go to church and to the grocery store, but then we come home and we play and eat and nap.  Then we play and eat some more, and I just love it.  



I'm also thankful that Jack and Hannah have one another.  Jack was so sweet to Hannah all day today, and it was just the cutest thing.  He wanted to snuggle and give her kisses first thing this morning, and all day he was just looking out for her.  At dinner, while trying to get him to eat a tiny piece of broccoli, I made up a song from Hannah for Jack, sung to the tune of "Mary Had a Little Lamb."  It goes like this:

     I want to play with Big Brother Jack
     Big Brother Jack, Big Brother Jack
     I want to play with Big Brother Jack
     So he can make me smile


and her face just lit up in this huge grin, and he was laughing.  Adorable.  Then tonight before bed, Jack wanted to watch an animal show, but not just with Daddy.  He insisted that he "needed his Hannah Bear," and this his "sister had to watch the animal show for five minutes, Mama."  Who can argue with that?  Certainly not me.




I'm thankful for all those little moments that just go by way too fast.  And that I have a camera to capture them forever.
