happenings

Over the past several days many happenings have been, well, happening.

At times as if in hyper-drive, the week's end quickly becomes the weekend and in a blink we are back to Monday, then Tuesday.  Some weeks passing in such a rush I barely remember.

But here I get to slow time.

Just.  A.  Bit.

If only for a short while.

A while just long enough to share some of those happenings.

Marveling.  At the confidence and poise of my nephew (on the left) as he acted in a delightful production of Guys and Dolls with his classmates.

Legoing.  Sometimes one, sometimes two, sometimes all three kiddos at once.

Building.  A snow friend, with snow finally just right for rolling.

Loving.  Each other simply because.

Appreciating.  "Hey Mom, look out the window at the sun," Big Brother called from the next room.

Cruising.  In our (new to us) mini-van.  Still marveling at how at just the right moment a need that seems so far from being met is easily and generously met.

Painting.  "I want to paint," Munchkin said after getting a glimpse of the master Bob Ross on PBS. 

Chunking.  Through two inches of ice as it slowly, s l o w l y melts under the warming sun.

Scoring.  The coolest cart at the grocery store.  Beeping and making engine sounds at the right times.

Partying.  With Chuck E. Cheese.  The first visit ever.  Instant love I think.

Savoring.  A Daddy-made homemade blackberry galette.  He really is so good!

Discovering.  Glitter.

Thanking.  For each and every happening, and the moments in between.

What happenings are you enjoying right now?
