Color

We have snow. Just a little right now, but they say we're going to get a lot. I don't have anywhere to go, so I like it.

Usually by February I'm begging Spring to make it's glorious appearance. Watching with anticipation for the first bud to reveal itself.

But I'm learning. Slowly. Learning to live in the moment. To not wish for the next stage in life.

I'm finding color in the everyday. Like in my new shoes.


And my beautiful children who helped me open them.

It was a really big event.

I'm trying to remember what life was like before babies, but it's hazy. I know for certain that as a mother, every emotion is experienced more deeply. Joy is more joyful. Sorrow more sorrowful. Delight is more delightful. And pain more painful. It's exhilarating and exhausting at the same time.

There is so much color. Every day.

I don't want to miss a moment of it.

UPDATE: If you are having a bad case of shoe lust, you can buy these beauties here. For a steal. They also come in black or purple. If anyone buys the purple, please send me a pic of them on your feet. I had such a hard time deciding. Oh, and order a size up {I'm usually a 7 or 7 1/2 and size 8 fits perfectly}.
