The little things in life

Do you ever have a day that seems like it's going to be ordinary and ends up being filled with unexpected moments of joy that make you so thankful? Well, today was one of those days for me. 

The day started like most do. Woke up and went to work, nothing really out of the ordinary. I came home to get Gray from school and Michael decided to take a break and walk with me to get him. It's not everyday you get to take a lovely walk with your husband at 2:30 in the afternoon. Such a blessing. 

Then, we had an impromptu play date with Cora, Liam, Claire and Braham. It's so much fun to see the games these kids make up and soon enough baby Braham will be tagging along behind them. 

Liam insisted that he and Cora were getting married and then they were going to eat pumpkin pie. He asked that I take their picture, but when Grayson butted in the shot, Liam wasn't thrilled. The moms had to think on their feet and managed to convince Liam that Gray could be his best man and stand next to them. Here are a few shots of the happy couple (and best man):

I really couldn't tell you what they are thinking in these pictures. Just being silly kiddos, I guess.

Meanwhile, Claire couldn't get enough of playing "mama" and taking care of baby Braham. He seemed okay going along with the whole charade. 

After our play date, we didn't really have any dinner plans and found out my mom was in town visiting my younger sister and baby Nora who just returned from Thailand. We decided to all have dinner together, and Amy and Holt joined in the fun too. 

Spontaneous family dinner...so much fun and the fact that I didn't have to cook was a bonus! 

Gray wanted to hold Nora (although she prefers standing in your lap these days) and we managed to snap a quick photo of the cute pair.


So many great moments and memories packed into one day. We have a lot to be thankful for!
