"These are a few of my favorite things..."

I love the Sound of Music! It's one of my favorite movies but neither of the DVD players in our computers work so we can't watch it. In honor of that wonderful movie that I have been dying to watch, here are a few of my favorite things:
  • The silence that comes with a fresh blanket of snow
  • The sound of my adorable son cooing
  • The smell of lilacs in spring
  • Finishing a good book
  • Swimming on a hot summer day
  • Camping
  • The refreshment that I feel after finishing a good devotion
  • Watching my son adore his daddy, and vice-versa
  • Hearing my brother's contagious belly laugh
  • Watching my husband dance (you've never seen anything like it, that's for sure!)
  • Going to football games
  • Going for walks on crisp autumn days
  • Playing with kittens

Well, that's more than a few but there are just too many things to choose from! What are some of YOUR favorite things?

That's ok, Brite, I actually forgot you were going to call so I didn't think about it. I'll see you tomorrow!

Oh, I have lots of favorite things! I love, love coffee with cream; sewing; the piece of cheesecake I had last night from a friend; receiving a handwritten letter; the brief joy of having the laundry folded and put away; watching my family play together on the floor; sitting in front of our fireplace; etc.

I miss you too! Sounds like you are adjusting so wonderfully to a family a three, but I know how busy you are! We could set up a "phone date"!
