  • Her blankie
  • Doing anything that Morgan is doing
  • Coloring
  • Listening to and looking at books
  • Playing mommy to her dolls, wrapping them in blankets and carting them around the house, gently patting their backs/heads

A Few of My Favorite Things

  • Snuggles in my bed first thing in the morning with Mallorie while she drinks milk from her sippy cup. While she drinks, she will often reach a little hand up, find my face or shoulder in the semi-dark of the room, and gently pat pat pat.
  • Listening to Morgan repeat words from the scriptures each night before bed. She has such a sweet voice. The words she creates if she doesn't understand is hilarious!
  • Mallorie has a very contagious smile and belly laugh. Her grin lights up her whole face and those big blue eyes. I adore watching her learn about her environment.
  • Hearing both of my girls singing.
  • Feeling the spirit in the evenings as Chadwick and Morgan (with Mallorie singing back up) sing all four verses of "How Great Thou Art."
  • Holding hands with Chadwick.
  • Watching Mallorie's face light up in a grin while I sing "I See the Moon."
  • Cuddle time with the cat while I lay on the couch.
  • Giggling as Darwin runs like a cartoon character on our slick laminate flooring in the evenings when we get him all riled up.
  • Having Morgan pull my ear to her mouth while she whispers gibberish, telling me a secret.
  • Squish hugs from Morgan.
  • Laughing with my husband.
Love these guys!!
