This is a picture that Gracie took recently (she has started an interest in photography!). I was going through our pictures and when I came across this one I had to laugh. To her, Woody and Buzz are her friends, her companions. Both Gracie and Stella carry them all over, and talk to them about life. With Stella it is more jibberish talk, and with Gracie it is more "mother hen" bossy talk. Woody and Buzz are pretty lucky to have such loyal companions who truly care for their welfare. Isn't it funny how toys and stuffed animals become part of your "family" when your children care about them? I almost feel as though I have actually given birth to Gracie's bear Lovie, for he has become a valued family member over the years. Stella's bear Bella is making her mark in the family as well, for Stella has fallen in love with the little stuffed bundle. I believe God instilled in us a desire to not only love our children, but to love what they love as well. It is a lovely, rainy, Saturday morning here in our home town and I could not be happier to spend it snuggling my family in my pjs. Our lives can be quite busy, and it is a joy to relish in the moments where we have time to snuggle or take pictures of Woody and Buzz. I know all of you reading this completely understand what I mean! (Even if you don't spend time taking pictures of animated movie stars!).I was reviewing our family's most recent photos and thinking about how much I love our little world! Which is where my inspiration for the title of this blog came from. See below!
The girls at Fashion Island on Christmas Eve!
Gracie's picture of us! Keton likes when she takes the pictures because he looks taller:)

The girls love to jump and wrestle on the couch without the pillows...cheap entertainment for us!

Our adorable little Stella at Christmas time...already 18 months and counting! Such a joy!We are at the stage in life where we are afraid to let any moments pass without recognition. Time is flying and we are trying to cherish all of it...
Ah, the sun is coming out, and I am off to get my daily run in! (The working out is going really well, more on that to come!).
Love to all!
