Joyfully & Easily Capture Love in at Least 43 Posts in Our Own Unique Way

There are some of those tiny daisy-like weed flowers growing along the edges of our garden. I pulled a lot of them out the other day and threw them in a pile of other weeds. Will and Sophie, however, love these flowers and are always pulling them out to bring to me. Will especially does this when he’s been naughty and wants forgiveness.
But yesterday after Will got home from school, he put his shoes back on and went outside. When he came in, he had one of those flowers gripped in his little fist. “Thank you, buddy,” I said, trying to take it from him. “It’s not for you, it’s for somebody else,” was his answer.
Sure enough, as soon as his sister came in the door from school an hour later, he plucked up that flower from where he’d left it on the rug and presented it to her. I think I am lucky they have each other…

I love him.

or maybe she just loves birthdays and cakes…

One of the rare times they get along. :)

They talked about it all afternoon. Everyone loves ice cream!

...

if she’ll let him sleep on her like this!

When they like each other, they’re very sweet.

but, as I prepare for the new year, I recognize that this item has basically been languishing on my list. I feel love. I recognize love. I capture love – just not here on 43things. So I am going to retire this one. I’m not giving up. I am recognizing that I have done this, even if not here.

Will and Sophie were both being so good that night. Sophie was doing her homework and Will wanted nothing else than to listen to stories read by his father. Don’t be too fooled by the angelic demeanor…but it was nice while it lasted!
