The simple things have been making me so happy lately.
Like this girl’s final day of preschool.
Like watching these two marvel at nature’s splendor aboard the Georgetown Loop Railroad.
Like dancing for the pillars at Cheeseman Park.
Like John Schmidt’s inspiring piano performance Love Story (Taylor Swift) meets Viva La Vida (Coldplay). I have listened to this at least 100 times. If you have not watched this, please do. If you have already, listen again. It builds and inspires…and I get goosebumps every time.

And last but certainly not least, I love children’s candor. When driving to the zoo last week, we had the following conversation:
Me: Who’s going to preschool next year?
Bode: ME!!!!!!
Me: Who’s going to kindergarten?
Hadley: ME!!!!!
Me: What’s Mommy going to do while you’re gone? I think I’ll just cry the whole time.
Hadley: No you won’t. You’ll be out hiking every day.
Busted.
