this saturday

today i am proud of:

...how my yosi likes to help. and how she's pretty good at it. she helped me fold laundry. and she helped me wash dishes.
...how i felt brilliant for making these potato stamps with cookie cutters. okay, so i'm certainly not the first person to think of it. but it came to mind without reading the idea on someone-else's blog.
...remembering to hang sweaters to dry, instead of putting them in the dryer.

today i remember fondly how:

...yosi ran excitedly to her daddy when he got home and said fondly, "i'm so glad you're here".
...yosi hugged her grandpa good-bye and said "i'm so glad you came to visit me today".
...how yosi giggled so uncontrollably after daddy dubbed her "princess of the living room" with the yard stick that she fell flat on her face and giggled some more.
...yosi fell asleep on my lap while i caressed her face. i marveled at her beauty, and how it came from a unique blend of two people we may never meet, and yet will remember eternally in her precious face.

today i am thankful for:

...my father- how he helps us as if we deserve it, and teaches me things by his actions more than his words.
...my sister- how she's always so close to my heart.
...my husband- who understands and strengthens me by doing so.
