It's a cold and snowy day.  School is done and I find myself with some quiet time, so I grab my book and some hot chocolate.  But, I want to stop first and record the beauty that surrounds us.  Even with long nights and sick little ones, we have much to be thankful for.

**little ones who are starting to feel better, starting to show signs of life again**

**time spent laughing together, playing games in the early evening**

**warm drinks**

**quilts made by Nana**

**fun valentine's day projects being worked on**

**chicken soup**

**nap time**

**humidifiers**

**extra snuggle time**

**special notes from Daddy**

**books to read and to fall in love with**
