Simple Pleasures

I just finished telling this story to my dad and I'm so excited to put it in writing! Tonight while Robert and I were watching the nightly news Abigail brought a book to me and wanted to sit on the couch with us and look at it. It was a Little Golden Book, remember those? She has a few of them but I am assuming at tonight's reaction she has never looked at the back cover of the book. She turned it over and I have NEVER seen such pure excitement in one's eyes and motions as I did her in tonight. YES Abigail, all of those characters are in one place. Mickey, Ernie, Bert, Big Bird, Raggedy Ann, and Pink Panther. She was reaching for them like they were going to pick up her up. She was making noises and puckering her lips and doing everything but hyper ventilating. It was absolutely precious! Unfortunately she opened the book to find none of those characters played a part in the story, firetrucks are not so exciting, huh Abby girl! :) So she threw the book and on to bigger and better things, like taking mommy's flowers out of the flower vase!! :)

So we had some snow this past weekend, it was beautiful and we had so much fun playing in it! Abigail is like her mama and dada and is a true snow lover! She cried whenever it was time to go inside and warm up.

So Kelly at Kellyskorner asked about life's simple pleasures. I love this sort of thing so here are a few of mine.

• Beach days
  
• Picking Abigail up out of her crib every morning
  
• Summer nights driving with the windows down
• Popcorn, Goobers & Cherry Coke at the movies
• The smell of suntan lotion
• A Nicholas Spark's book
  
• Lunch and dinner with friends
• Easter dress
• Concerts at VA Beach Amphitheater
• Laughing with Abigail
• Watching Hibiscus bloom throughout the summer
• A new outfit for Robert, Abby or myself :)
  
• Putting on a fleece the first cool day of fall
• Salty skin and hair after swimming in the ocean
