Those Moments...

Those of you who read my blog know that I have a been a bit of a mess in terms of work as of late. And sometimes I get caught up in blogging about only the big events or complaining...I don't mean to brag but sometimes I am just plain funny. Anyway...

After a hard week, I came to my mom and dad's to pick up my baby girl. My sweet little Bean who I literally rush home to be with. Mom had gotten us a pizza, as Matt and Dad were both working late. So we sat and laughed and had some pizza. A simple meal and it made me happy. My mom is so thoughtful. ALL the time she thinks of little things to help me. Getting a pizza so that we all wouldn't have to eat alone in our seperate houses sounds so easy but you'd be suprised what a big deal it can be.

So we were leaving and Ella usually goes over to the gate when I prompt her with "Ella ready to go bye bye?". So she went down the hall instead. As I walked over to the hall she started running towards me with this look of glee on her face. I knew what she was doing so I leaned down, scooped her up and kissed and hugged her. This made her so happy. Again, something so simple. She really is my center.

It is amazing for me to see the bond between my mom and myself and Ella. Three generations. I guess it is different for every relationship. I love to see how she reacts to Matt and to my dad but it is different with the 'girls'. Not bad just different. I am so blessed to have this experience.

Sometimes I forget this stuff. Life goes on and one day we will all be old and miserable and say "where'd the time go". I'm hoping to avoid the miserable part by noticing all these little things. All the simple little things.
