Mundane Greatness

I don't feel like I've had much to say these days. And I feel like that's a good thing. We're just living life. Enjoying the backyard if we can, planning for a backyard update (the astro-turf plan has been canceled due to it costing in the neighborhood of $6000!!!!), cleaning house, teaching table manners, fitting in dentist appointments for my broken tooth, gearing up for Richard to be gone for another week, reading The Forgotten Garden (which I highly recommend), watching Sammy roll and roll, helping Isaiah learn to say "snack", teaching Asher to write his name, reading Little House on the Prairie with Naomi, watching the daffodils bloom in the yard, hoping my little lilac bush will show signs of having made it through the winter. A million great little mundane things.
