Reasons to smile

I have found them again. 

I'm not sure what happened back there last week . . . sorry about that.  It was one of the funkiest funks I have ever been in.  But here is why things are looking up, at least today:

I got to spend a week with my parents.  Erik is home. It didn't rain today.  I found a natural foods store that sells dried black beans and more tofu varieties than I have ever seen.  I got an hour of 2 napping kids which allowed me to do yoga.  My brother and sister-in-law sent us a package full of cookies.  I got a letter from a friend. I opened my journal and started writing in it again.  It didn't rain today.  Elsa started the day declaring, "I'm going to be a good girl today", and she was.  I got some sleep last night.  We fed ducks.  I like our new pediatrician and his English is perfect and he gave Elsa some gummi bears.  Clara got shots and was a trooper.  It didn't rain today.  I passed a Colombian vegetarian cafe. I think I am going to like Wiesbaden.  Both kids were asleep before 8 and I could talk to Erik. It didn't rain today.  Elsa found new jobs for wine cork Mary and Joseph and a place to perch clay blob Baby Jesus:


And of course, there are these two, who remind me of all there is to be happy about.
