happiness is the new black

#30 Happy-making music: “Under the Stars” by Sunflow

#29 I really appreciate how on top of it you are when it comes to parenting our children. Whether you’re home for the day or passing through between work appointments, you step in readily and easily. It’s a great comfort to me and a real blessing to us all.

#28 happiness is hearing your 5 year old read almost the whole story himself for the first time!

#27 Watching how sweet my children are is the perfect cure to how crummy the world can sometimes be. In the end, it doesn’t matter what else is going on…my family makes me happy.

#26 I love walking my daughter to school. It’s a wonderful way to start the day for both of us.

#25 When I ask my first graders, “What does it mean to be a kid?” The first answer I get is: “To be a kid means to be cared for by people who love you.” Oh how lucky to work with kids everyday and hear their wonderful ideas about life!
