growing...
grown!
14 days later! mopsy will continue to grow his green locks, making ella one happy little girl!
how have i "grown" today? let me count the ways...
1. helping others always helps me. i feel fulfilled after a day at work. today was spent assisting a lovely woman obtain community resources for food, transportation, medical funding, and future life planning. her trust and willingness to accept assistance left me humbled and blessed.
2. coming home to find a husband and two little girls happily playing in a very messy house. does the mess matter? no. seeing the contentment on their faces as daddy busily prepares dinner in the kitchen: priceless. daddy played with them today and now they are giving him some time to accomplish a few tasks. brilliant!
3. visiting with a new friend made me happy. i need people. life is so much more full and interesting when we can laugh together about our life experiences and realize the similarities that we share.
4. my belly seems to be multiplying in size by the day. feeling the movement of a new life is the most precious time. i love being pregnant, knowing that this is truly the easiest part of parenthood and an intimate time for me, baby, and daddy.
5. grass is growing and greening-up in our yard; more tulips are blooming; the dianthus is showing some pink; ornamental grasses are showing new green blades. despite the cool temps, spring is here! i am remaining optimistic that warmth is sure to come soon!
