Recently, we have discovered as a family the pure elation of playing with Luke on the slide. His whole face lights up as he eagerly anticipates us counting: "One, Two, Thrrrreeeeeeeee!" Down he glides, dimples so deep that you could practically get lost in them. He throws his head back with glee, giggling hysterically as he slides. He holds up his arms up to us at the end, mouthing, "Puh, Puh, Puh" (his way of asking to be lifted "Up", to do it all over again). So we repeat this game, again and again, until we are all laughing so hard that we have tears in our eyes and our tummies ache. I'm not sure who has more fun, Luke, or us, as his adoring parents, as we all participate in this sweet, simple joy of childhood. And our hearts are full, so very full.

Living life through a child you love's eyes is the BEST, and NOTHING beats simple....there's a reason the classics are classics! Love, Grams
It's the little moments, me thinks, that are the best, sweetest, and most addictive parts of parenting. So happy to see you are just as hooked on this Mommy thing as I am!!
