It's the Little Things

        
So I've come to find how much the little things mean to me:  like seeing Monika's new born clothes hang dry on our rack, makes me smile everytime.  Holding her in church while listening to Todd preach about suffering.  Washing her bottles that I pump milk into everyday.  Seeing her little bath tub in the shower.  Having cloth diapers to wash.  Finding a paci under the couch.  Driving in the car and looking in my mirror and seeing a car seat in the back. These are a few of my favorite things.  They are little things, but they mean big-big contentment and joy in my heart.
