The reinforcements arrived today. Mike helped Brian put in our first subfloor. They got the living room downstairs done. Arwen also came and played with the kids. I got Emora's ornament painted ;) The kids got some sledding in at our neighborhood hill. I love that place being so close! Super awesome. Some other super awesome things in my opinion include:
-hugs, kisses and back rubs-the kids' excitement at something new, found or discovered
-nature here in the valley: the trees, the hills, lakes and birds, sometimes seeing a wild animal
-our aprons made by Valarie
-wearing clothes given to me by Tighe makes me feel close to her
-wipe board notes from my hubby
-Brian or the kids playing music
-walking to stores and the school, appointments or the lake because they are so close!-people who say "hi" or smile
-reading to/with my kids
-painting/creating things
-swimming-ah, I really miss swimming!
-laughter: mine and others, especially kids, so bubbly
-a good book
-my big windows with lots of sunshine, awesome sunrises and sunsets
-the feel of my kid's hands when they touch me, their little lips and little butts ) they have the cutest butts!)-taking and looking at our pictures
-my big pantry and all the freezer space-getting the house cleaned while visiting with a friend on the phone
-knowing that good things have come to my friends or family
-having deep conversations with friends
-knowing that each day is a new day with no mistakes in it and that my mistakes are as far from me as the East is from the West
-the Lover always and forever brings me joy, knowing I am never alone and help is always at hand

I love the list of your favorite things but winter, cold, ice and snow are NOT on my list.
Too dangerous and not any fun any more.
I hope that their is some work left for when I get there!
