Mondays at the Marina

Payton and I often stop by the Marina for a quick bike ride on Mondays after we drop the boys off at school.  It's really nice to have some one-on-one time to just sit back and play.

It's The Little Things

It's the little things I love the most....

-  Jake's dimples when he smiles.  They're even more noticeable when he tries to hide them.

-  Payton's dimples.  Not quite as noticeable as Jake's, but there all the same.

-  How Jake smiles with his eyes.

-  Payton's deep breathing when she's lost in thought or concentrating hard on the task at hand.

-  How Jake gets completely absorbed when he reads.  He tunes everything out when he's into a good book.

- Watching Payton sing and dance to the radio in the rear-view mirror.
-  The smattering of freckles across Jake's nose that most people wouldn't even notice.

-  Payton's hugs.  She gives them fiercely and often.

-  Jake's "Hey Mom!  Will you come in and say goodnight.....again?"
- Payton reaching up to hold my hand when we walk.....anywhere.

-  Hearing "I love you Mom!" from them both.
