I love..

--WARNING--

This is going to be kind of a gushing post...It's one of those days for me. So, I apologize in advance for the gushy-McGusherson-ish tone.

1. The smell of baking banana bread. We've been getting bananas in our co-op the last few weeks, but Andrew is on a banana binge, so I've had a hard time getting them overripe to make my mother-in-law's banana bread. Oh, baby.

2. That Henry and Asher are almost the same size...And yet, Henry is 3 months older than Asher. (I realize this doesn't show comparative sizes, but both boys' faces are super funny.)

3. Andrew's new calendar. He has been super responsible and cooperative this week. Praise the good day. It was an inspired thought to empower him to plan his days. He's gone from this:to this:

4. The boys' nap schedules are totally working for me...Because they're both sleeping at the same time. It's so awesome.

5. My cousins. Went to a baby shower for Darc and left with a whole new perspective of motherhood. Such good moms they are. Thanks for all the advice!

6. That my parents are serving a mission. They are learning and growing so much, and those of us at home are definitely reaping huge blessings for their service. We're so grateful for the miracles they witness each day.

7. Pretty much all the moms in my life. My mom-in-law, my mom, my sisters-in-law, my friends...All of these people who inspire me to be a better mom...which is a long shot, I know, but I definitely have something to work towards.

Okay, I think I'm done now. I'll try to be more witty and less raving lunatic in my next post.
