At this moment...

At this moment, I am sitting at my kitchen table. Aubrey Kate is outside reading a book to Elmo and Monkey whom she has dressed up in her PJ's and taken outside in her baby stroller. All the way home from "school" today, she talked of little else than playing in the yard.

Read "yard" in your best Boston accent.

At this moment, there are gluten-free chocolate chip cookies baking in the oven. The mix was on sale at Target where, of course, we stopped at on the way home because we are out of grapes. Pumpkin has asked for grapes incessantly today and honestly, what kind of mother would I be if I kept her away from the fruit she loves most.

At this moment, I am typing on my husband's "old" laptop computer since I turned mine back in to my company this morning. I am no longer employed. Again. As I said to someone today, I think this "quitting" will stick what with baby number two on the way. I cried a little on the way out of town. Not because I was sad to leave, although there is a little of that, but because of how much God has used my job in the last eight years to provide for us in ways we could have only dreamed.

At this moment, Chris is at school teaching a sectional getting ready for the annual "job performance review." He is such a hard worker. He puts in some serious hours, but I know lots of people do that. But he's doing what he loves and feels called to do. There are plenty of men who likely do jobs they don't enjoy because it pays well. Chris could do that. He rocks at the tech stuff. But he does what he feels called to do, regardless of the pay. I love him for that.

At this moment, Little Man is giving me his afternoon kick routine. Every kick I feel makes me smile. There was a time when I wasn't sure I would feel this at all and to have the joy of being pregnant twice is amazing. I love our little miracle man.

At this moment, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for my Savior. His love is all-consuming. His goodness is everywhere. Although I am so undeserving. And there is no way I could miss that on a day like today, in this moment.
