THANKFUL FOR THE SIMPLE THINGS!


Lately, I have been transported straight to my childhood- living through Davis.  That perfect smell of fall leaves and fireplaces being lit for the first time this season is just YUMMY and PERFECT.  Somehow I also crave foods like pumpkin anything (pumpkin cheesecake pie most recently) and chili.  My waistline has noticed these things as well.  Energy is up- walking and running more often- and just enjoying the best part of the holidays- the anticipation!  
Davis has found his happy place outside.... never inside.  I love this too thank goodness!  If we MUST be inside, the Golf Channel is in high demand (by no push from Kev or me).  Writing this blog makes me remember the fun and beautiful parts of our life- rather than the daily worries of job, money, health and general modern life frustrations (my cell phone drops everyone all the time- grrrrrrrrr).
Seeing this picture of Davis lying in a pile of leaves just puts "all that matters" into perspective.  I am so thankful for this little guy- he really has brought things full circle for me and he doesn't even know it!  He is pure joy and is growing way too fast.  I will be using this post as a "go to" place when I need to remember what is most important in life:  a huge pile of leaves to soak in!
