What Matters

So last night I went into our room to change Bryce and instead of putting him on his changing table I put him on our bed. He loves getting to lay in our bed on the cold sheets =o) I changed him and he was as happy as could be so we started playing and he was laughing like crazy! I called Daniel into the room so he could hear and see. Bryce brings us both so much joy.

As Daniel, Bryce and I sat on the bed together playing and laughing I kept thinking to myself "this is what it's all about". It's moments like these where everything you are worried about, the stuff at work that needs to be done and trying to figure out what's for dinner the next night just drops off your To Do List. I had such a peace come over me as I watched Daniel pretend to "eat" Bryce's cheeks so that we both could hear him laugh.

I love my little family so much and that short 20 minutes on the bed last night warmed my heart so much that I just needed to share.

We all get so worked up or worried about the little things in life that we forget that some of the most important things in life is blowing on tummies, "eating" cheeks and singing "If You're Happy and You Know It" over a million times in a day. I hope all of you get a chance to have a moment like this today and I wanted to thank all of you for the other moments in my life that you have given to me. The funny emails that have lighten my spirits just when I needed them, the tickle fights that I SO enjoyed when I was little, the grape juice you always had ready when I needed it, the "did you know" tidbits that you so willingly share and make me laugh - that have all warmed my heart.

Sappy isn't always my thing, but I wanted to share.

Love from the Brody world,
Kelly
