Moments

My Easter weekend was spent in Chicago. I ate, drank, and laughed a lot with my family. And gave probably a thousand kisses to my niece.

It was her six month birthday last Saturday and we kicked off the day with an auntie/niece bonding moment over her morning bottle. That babe starts kicking and grunting as soon as she sees her milk in the bottle- it is the cutest thing. Her mouth opens to a big "O" and reaches for it with all her baby might.

My sister and I talked about our dreams of owning a business one day- after all our kiddos leave the nest. How Maddie will be when she's older. How she wants to redecorate a new house. How she wants me to move to Chicago so. badly. We also shared smiles as we watched Maddie fall asleep on the living room floor.

I realized last weekend how much these little moments mean so much to my heart. I only spent 48 hours with them, but I was overflowing with joy when I left. They really fill me up to carry onward.

What are your little moments, and are you noticing them in your life? Slow down to appreciate them for your heart may feel just a little bit fuller. 

love you e,
love, t.
