Loves of the day

Happiness may be a choice, but most of the time it's an easy one with:

Mocha in the morning

thoughtful friends who bring over banana bread just because they know you like it

thoughtful mommies who do the same just because they know Lincoln likes it

birds building a nest right outside the living room window

Jack and Lily shoes

The inside of a kiwi, prettiest fruit there ever was

Lincoln wheeling around his plastic golf bag like a vacuum

lunges down the hallway; any hallway

my husband in a suit and tie

laughter from the nursery while the boys are reading

planning day trips for the summer

anticipation of filling my humming bird feeder

2 hour long walks through the avenues and downtown, then back home again

white rum

listening to Linc mumbling in his crib in the morning

friendly cats who jump from their porch stoops just to brush legs with passersby

family just a short drive away

Linc spooning his own oatmeal

pullup/dip machines

hand-me-down clothes, better than new

parents with their endless supply of love and generosity

finding a gray hair and being totally cool with it

free family-friendly activities (Linc pictured below at UMFA)
