That made me smile. I'm also happy about watching my baby try pasta for the first time. Love the saucy red face!
ReplyDeleteThat's definitely a good way to put a positive spin on any bad day :) It's so easy to forget the little things, but it's just those little things that make us smile.
ReplyDeleteWow. That's a lot to be happy about. It's nice to be blessed.
