Joy in the Midst of Chaos


Between throw-up, sneezing, coughing and other messy bodily functions happening from all people in this house, here are few things that made the day much more bearable...


1) Seeing Rose Marie try to "make him laugh" (him being Samuel) by whacking him in the head with her pink Tu-Tu. He wasn't overly enthusiastic, but it didn't hurt him.


2) Listening to Sam test his laugh. He can't decide if laughing is caused by inhaling or exhaling while making a funny noise.


3) A hug from my husband when the two kids were having meltdowns at the same time. It felt so good to find comfort in him.


4) Seeing Rose Marie share Bud-Bud with Samuel when he was upset and then bringing him tissues so he could wipe his nose. She is so thoughtful.


5) Sharing a long laugh with Rose Marie that actually reduced us both to tears. In the end, I don't think we remembered why were laughing, but it didn't matter one bit.


6) Watching Samuel in the bath. He loves it so much. He spends most of the time keeping eye contact with me while bursting into smiles and laughs.


Thank you, Lord, how could I ask for more.
