Simple Pleasures

This afternoon I am truly thankful for some simple pleasures. And when you think about it, all these small things add up to make life pretty darn good. 

1. Being close enough to the school that D-man can leave the after school program and bike home. 

2. Knowing the D-man can be home without me at the house and be ok. 

3. Walking into the house and having D-man with all his football gear on and doing his homework (without even being asked!). 

4. T-man so excited that it is raining so he can use his rain poncho part of his backpack. 

5. Signing T-man up for soccer with 5 boys from the neighborhood. 

6. Sitting on the front porch enjoying a glass of vino and taking it all in.
