What makes you smile????

I was sitting here tonight after a long day of laundry, cooking dinner and homework and there it was......the reason I exist, one reason that makes being a Mom the BEST thing in the world!!! The laughter of my kids. My gosh...it could be the worst day in the world and to just hear those laughs...you know the one's, the deep belly laughs. It melts me!!! It makes me smile just to think about it. They all have the sweetest smiles, but to add laughter to it. Rachel was the one that from the time she was a tiny baby would laugh so hard she would get hicups (still does at times), Neal would laugh so hard I thought I would have to start emergency breathing, Olivia well it amazed me how much she sounded like Rachel minus the hicups, and Luke...oh he gets so excited when he laughs. Wow...I am blessed!!! To have children is always a challenge...to have happy children is a miracle and oh so good for your heart!!

So, I ask you my friends...What is it that makes you smile??? It doesn't have to be about children. Because there are many things that make me smile. I just happen to add the thing that was making me happy at the moment.
