our kind of perfect...

Tonight as we were sitting in the kitchen chatting and feeding Liza I looked at Tyler and said, "You know, out of all the things we could be doing right now, and all the places we don't get to go anymore...I wouldn't want to be anywhere else but right here... I love being home...just the 3 of us." He completely agreed...There is nothing better than this feeling... With that being said, it's no where near perfect around here...There are times in every day that I think to myself -I'd just like to be able to sit down and do nothing, and times when Liza's fussiness makes me nuts, and times when I look down at my "newly mopped" floors and see wet puffs stuck to them or part of a banana smushed on the floor that Liza just threw from her highchair... But all in all, it is perfect, perfect for us...and I wouldn't trade 1 minute of our lives... Before I had Liza I was very guilty of looking around at others and comparing myself/my life...I often prayed about this bc I hated it... I didn't want to be that way, but I was... from the time Liza entered this world, that has all stopped... Nothing matters anymore but the 3 of us... and I love it...Tyler and I had a wonderful life before her, but nothing compared to today...

Our day consisted of donuts in bed (even Liza got a few very small bites)...then we had Liza's pictures made...ate lunch at Woods... went swimming... got snow cones...had dinner...and ended it with a bubble bath... As simple as that sounds, its what I love the most...we were all 3 together all day long... I can't help but stop and thank God for this life... As I rocked Liza to sleep and  looked across the room and saw a pile of things that need to be hung in her closet, it made me smile...I couldn't help but think about how those things just don't matter anymore...they will get hung eventually...So before you worry about the small things, take time to enjoy your loved ones...My kitchen floor may have puffs on it, but Liza sure had fun making that mess...

Here are a few pics Marxy took today...Happy Saturday...
