Today was one of those days where everything just went well. The girls played nicely together. All. Day. Long. Colin didn't nap but he wasn't unhappy about it. He was cute and sweet all day. We went to the store and everyone behaved -- even when it took the cashier at least 10 minutes to ring us up. I accidentally dropped my van keys down the sewer drain in the parking lot and TWO nice couples stopped to help me get them back out.
We went for a walk after dinner and Claire pushed Colin in the stroller. Maddie held Phil's and my hand and jumped over the cracks in the sidewalk and I thought, "This is about as good as it gets." It seems like these moments of contentment can be so fleeting. I wanted to freeze time this evening and just enjoy the day some more. No one was annoyed. No one was being annoying. No major problems in our lives right now. How often does this happen? I go to bed tonight with a smile on my face, knowing that tomorrow it could all go to hell in a hand basket. But today was a great day.

My mom always says those are the moments you have to fold up and tuck in your heart to pull out when the days DO go to hell in a handbasket. Sounds wonderful, Katie. Hopefully, you'll have another day just like it very soon.
What a wonderful day! And no one deserves it more than you!
