What I appreciate today....1/4/2010

Love, love, love this photo of the three boys. You guys make me so proud and my heart so happy.
This was one crazy ram...he kept making these wierd noises with his mouth as he was licking or eating something and then would look at us and burp. When we would make a noise, he would burp back at us. I'll bet he is a CSU ram fan...I'm just sure of it.

I am quite sure we have several pictures of Zach through the years in this exact spot. What's even cooler is that he remembers that, too, and reminds me to take the photo. :)


Goofing around before hitting the zoo. What was Chris putting in your hood, Zach? We had a great trip to the zoo. We have had a tradition of going to the zoo after Christmas almost every year since Chris was 1. What was so cool is that the boys each individually thanked me at different points of our visit for taking them there. I think I was the one who should thank them for wanting to go.


Today, the boys went back to school. After a long break, I always dread the day before when I know that they have to go back and our relaxed, fun, hangout schedule is going to change. I looked at the alarm set for 5:30 am and just knew that another time together had passed. The good thing is that I know there will be more of these special times, and because of that, I can look back and APPRECIATE the time we had and it becomes a treasure. The ease of just being together, playing games, talking, laughing, and even arguing is just so awesome. Yesterday, Chris was talking about being at home and going back to school and he said "home is just fun." What a great comment coming from a teenager. I hope the boys always feel that way and love being at home. I'll admit, not everything is always in perfect order, but what is in order is that we all like eachother as well as love eachother and that just is incredible and that is reason to APPRECIATE these times all the more.
