It's the little things, the simple things in life.

This morning I woke the girls up early, just for the sole purpose of doing their hair and spending the morning getting ready in a relaxed style, unlike our usual hurry-get-dressed-here's-a-bag-of-cereal-hurry-brush-your-teeth-forget-doing-your-hair-put-your-shoes-on out the door style.

I only spent about 10 minutes in the bathroom with Gracelyn doing her hair, but she was so happy, and so proud of her hair, that it made my heart swell. Even Madalyn held still long enough for me to put her hair up and put on a headband.

It's the little things in life. The simple things that make my girls smile and laugh, that fill me with the joy to forget everything else.
