What makes me happy

If someone were to ask me what really makes me happy in life, fills up my heart completely, and offers me total peace...hands down it would be watching my kids play with each other. They were both playing Hide-and-Seek, I guess with me, so this was their reaction when I found them (had to stop and grab the camera first). It's not hard to find them with all the giggling that goes on.

And last night, Mike and I were quietly reading on the couch, and we suddenly noticed that we were quietly reading on the couch, so we looked at each other to realize that the kids have been occupying themselves by playing together right behind us. I grabbed the camera to take a video, but as soon as they realized they are being recorded, the playing stopped. By the way, as you can see in this video, one of Sylvie's favorite pastimes is tearing up our medical journals, of which she has a couple of pieces with her behind the couch. The way I see it, it's less reading for me :)

I absolutely agree with you on this sentiment! I adore watching Lex & Eve play together. It's so amazing. Of course they don't always get along so well (he bops her, she falls over and cries, etc) but when they do it's just heart melting. Keep up the good work with those two!
