1. Early morning
I’m not normally an early riser, but ever since Gracie was born, I’ve had to be up pretty early to nurse her. There’s something about the light in the morning that softens everything. There’s also something about knowing the whole day is stretched out in front of me.
2. “Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World” by Izzy
This song is very special to me. It’s the song Michael and I chose as our “first dance” at our wedding. It just warms my heart when I hear it. It’s also what I have playing on my iPod when the alarm goes off in the mornings. What a nice way to start the day. 🙂
3. Gracie’s laughter
The sound of Gracie’s giggles is almost beyond description. What is it about a baby’s giggles? Especially Gracie’s. When she giggles, her little eyes crinkle up and she laughs from her belly. It’s contagious, too.
