Sleepy Sunday Morning

Harmony woke up around 6 this morning, and after Rob fed her, she came to snuggle in our bed for a while. She fell asleep again and then Rob brought me the most delicious cup of coffee ever.

I don't know what chemistry conspired to make it taste so good, but it's perfect in every way.

And so now I have a sleeping baby and a great cup of coffee and it strikes me that it doesn't take much to be in the moment and enjoy these times of great contentedness.

I'm also feeling content because we had such a nice night last night. Nothing spectacular, but nice.

The Jets won.
Joey and Micah were out with friends. I didn't get to meet Micah's friends, but I really like the boys Joey is hanging out with.
We had a nice visit with Wes and Linda.
Harmony was up past her bedtime and so content and cute. Usually she is in bed by 8 pm and cranky for the last 45 minutes or so. Last night she was up until 10 and said "good night" smiling.
We have a flight voucher that we are using up after Christmas. Have to fly in the States, and from Minneapolis, so it's a bit of work to redeem it but we are going to spend some time in Alabama(!) and Florida. If we are really ambitious we just might go west to New Orleans, as well.

I know it's silly that I am happy when the Jets win... who would have thought I'd be watching hockey? But when 3/4 of your family really cares, you kinda get caught up in the excitement. It's more fun to care than to resist caring.

One great bit of family news is that Rob will be doing a PhD, starting in January. Natural Systems Agriculture. Makes us sound soooo granola. I love it that he is interested and excited and has such a great opportunity.

More reason to be content.

I wonder if the apostle Paul had an overflowing heart when he wrote stuff like "I thank God upon every remembrance of you." It's just that when I think of you, the four of you, the five of you... I am so thankful for you, for what you have around you, for the life that unfolds as you walk... Peace... Perfect for the season that is now.
