Giggling, laughter, little boy sounds
All day Wii playing, movies in my bed
Soft blankets, furry lazy love surrounding my lap
Reading a whole book, while football is played in the living room
Red upper lips, lotion tissues, bed hair
Leftover sweet potatoes, chicken soup
Orange and cloves on the stove, twinkling Christmas lights
Mama Stone's little village, on snow
Chilly sunny days, making home cozy
Cracked walls, noisy floors, snuggling in blankets
Unfinished rooms, full of belonging
Fleece PJ pants, warm socks from the dryer
Cereal, coffee, pepperonis and popcorn
Small couch, one room downstairs
Imperfect decorations and imperfect people
Loving each other the best we know how
Sometimes the loud is not jokes and laughter
Grace given because grace was given
Fighting to keep His gift in the front
Listing the blessings and forgetting expectations
Turning off comparisons and pushing away disappointment
Breathing in moments, forgiving quickly
Not rushing, not striving, but living right now.
