A very good day...

Yesterday, seemed pretty average. We both went to work, I dropped off and picked Malachi up at my mom's house. We all arrived home about 1 pm. Malachi hadn't taken his nap yet (he never naps at Grammy's anymore...too many interesting things to do, I guess!!) so he played for a couple minutes and then wanted to snuggle with Daddy. After a couple minutes he said he wanted to take his nap, so we put him down. This usually signals my nap time on the couch...usually a couple hours of semi-fitful sleep while Samuel watches TV, plays a video game, or gets something quiet done around the house. But today was different. I looked at Samuel and asked him if he was tired. He said "No...why?" "Oh I just wondered if you wanted to take a nap, too." "OK, I could go for a nap" he says. We crawled into bed...no funny business...just snuggling and taking a nice peaceful, re-cooperative nap. Three hours later (yes 3!!!), Malachi woke us up and we ate dinner, played together and listened to the rain pouring down. I have to tell you, this is one of the most peaceful, relaxing days we have had in a long time. Another one to add to my favorite days list. Maybe we should try this more often!

That sounds like a fantastic day! :)

I have to add that the new close up picture of Natalie is AMAZING. I can see so much of Malachi in her! WOW! It will be fun to see if Sapphira will look like her siblings :)
