I'm thankful for the simplicity and fullness of today.
We were in sync.
We played. We shared laughs and food. I read to her. She chatted. She gave me spontaneous kisses. She napped. I carried her around the house. We grocery shopped.
We made cookies.
She created Play-Doh turtles and towers while I cooked dinner.
(And hammed it up as soon as I pulled out the camera.)
The highlight was hearing her sweet three-year-old voice sing the well known line in the song "Angels We Have Heard on High," Glorrrr-o-o-o-o-ohhhh-o-o-o-o-oooo-o-o-o-o-orrrr-ria over and over and over again as she continually requested the song to be played. We sang it during breakfast, we sang it in the car, we sang it as she danced around in the shower before bedtime. Such a sweet voice, such simple joy. These are the moments I will ache for when she's older.
Today was a good mommyhood day.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the "snapshot" of your day. What joy!!!! that your sweet Ella has brought and this post certainly reveals that joy. I love the pics of her hamming it up while playing with the playdough. Remember days like this when you find yourself in the midst of a tough one. Love you Jen. Dad and I are so happy to see you being a mom. Praise Jesus!
Hooray for good mommyhood days! We've been having a few of them around here these days too. Mainly when there is only one home though :oS.
Blessings!
