Grateful

There is a LOT I have to be grateful for recently...I just wanted to take the time to reflect.

Lovely Paperwhite and Amarilis bulbs for my birthday

Having my parents come (in a snowstorm!) for Ethan's 1st birthday

Spending time with my parents at Massanutten (and the Water park there, so fun!)

Seeing our dear family friend, Azeb, and enjoying the incredible Ethiopian meal she made!

A weekend away (while Mom and Dad Salvatierra took the boys)

Time with Matthew, our sisters-in-law, and you too, Tom!

And a surprise late Valentine last night, getting to see the Punch Brothers. Thanks, Mike, for staying with the boys!

I am immeasurably blessed and by no merit of my own. I am just grateful for all of the people in our lives that love us so much. I am storing these memories up for times that may not be so fun-filled and joyful. For now I am savoring them. Be assured, my day-to-day "mommy" tasks are not so exciting, but I'm learning that those moments are indeed sacred and to be treasured too. Even those really hard, strong-willed child moments...yes, sacred.
