Lazy weekend

I had a wonderful weekend with the kids and it reminded me of the simple pleasures in life.



Snuggling with the kids on the bed.
Receiving kisses and squeezes from the Princess.
Getting quick hug from the busy 3 year old man as he runs through the house.

Watching one of the boys help another without being asked.
Laughing at the Princess as she digs in her ravioli and ends up with sauce all over her face, hands, arms, etc.

Watching the two middle boys play computer games without fighting.  
Seeing Princess wave bye bye and blow kisses to Daddy as he leaves for work.
Seeing the 9 year old follow along in the missalette during Mass by himself.
 Witnessing the 3 year old giving the Princess a hug when he thought no one was looking. 


Seeing the reverence the eldest has for the Lord as he assists during the Mass.
Feeling the courage the 9 year old had while learning to horseback ride.  Seeing him feed the horses with a big smile on his face. 


Look back on your weekend and see if you can find some beautiful moments you might have overlooked. 

These are just some of the enjoyments I was able to experience this beautiful weekend.  The Lord has truly blessed me through these beautiful souls He as given me the responsibility and privilege of caring for here on Earth.
