What Does Today Hold

Good morning everyone,
I had a long restless night last night. My son awoke at 10pm with a tummy ache and in need of cuddles and love. At midnight we were laughing, playing, and polishing off some leftovers from dinner. Around 1am he finally fell back asleep and I too laid down to try and rest for a few hours. 

I was awake by a few minutes before 5am. No reason, I just couldn't sleep. Not wanting to wake my entire home, I laid in bed and started surfing blogland on my ipad. I found a great mommie blog hop and went through every link that was attached. Some stories were great, funny, and interesting. One in particular tore at my heart strings and made me cry for quite a while.

And all of this made me wonder, What did today hold for my family?
Within moments of that though I made a decision that today would have hugs, laughter, and joy.
Today may not be perfect, but it is a gift and I'm going to enjoy it.

When my son awoke he gave me the sweetest smile, the one that says I remember last night and you helped make it better. Thanks mom, I love you. I melted a ton and told him how adorable he was and how much he was cherished. Then I told him that we were going to have the best day ever. He gave me the biggest toothy grin, and I think he's beginning to understand that the best day ever means we're gonna play and have lots of fun.

I hope everyone out there has a joyous day. 

And hopefully a new digi will help the day start out on the right track.

Enjoy coloring and crafting with Summer but please give me, Anna Stillwell at Cuddlebug Cuties, credit for drawing her.

I'm off to play in the yard with my little man. To start snapping tons of photos to capture every moment of this day. To play, laugh, and love.
Have a wonderful day everyone,
Great Big Hugs to All,
Anna
